Porch Pirates, Passion, and the Light That Overcomes the Darkness

Brian From moves from timely headlines about stolen packages, cash gifts, and aging bodies to deeper reflections on faith, passion, and purpose. Along the way, he contrasts the darkness of greed, cynicism, and exhaustion with the Advent promise that Christ is the light no darkness can overcome. As Christmas approaches, Brian invites listeners to ask a piercing question of their own lives: are we living with passion—and are we stepping fully into the marvelous light of Christ? 250,000 packages stolen per day, study finds, as lawmakers push stiffer penalties - CBS News  Denny Burk on X: "Dane Ortlund’s 39 rules for preaching.
