Merry Exvangelical Christmas!

Send a textWhat’s Christmas without a dab of doubt, a smidge of heresy, maybe even a dash of Greek mythology? Not much of a Christmas at all, if you ask Angela and Natalia. These nice and occasionally naughty evangelical preachers’ daughters prove why book banning is so popular these days and how the road to perdition almost always starts in a theatre. They ponder the essential questions of Christmas—virginity, the role of eggnog in worship, polytheism, and what makes some evangelicals so pushy. For added bliss, Christmassy tunes pop up when you least expect them. Whatever you believe or don’t believe about Christmas, this episode will have you humming and smirking your way through even the most awkward mixed-faith holiday gatherings.******  Sources: “exvangelical” @brchastain_  on InstagramReady to Harvest on YouTube   What is an Evangelical?
