Summary

We know Jesus wasn't born on 25 December. We know Jesus never asked us to celebrate his birth. We know that Santa Claus and trees with balls on them have nothing to do with Jesus. Does the whole Christmas thing then come from Paganism, and if so, what should Christians do about it? In this podcast the history of the development of Christmas as we experience it is explored. And it turns out quite interestingly, that the origin of Christmas is not that sinister at all. Santa is not a demon. And doing Christmas is not pagan worship. Above all aspects this episode deals with, the most interesting is the way the Catholic church actually did something really good that changed the course of the pagan world forever.

Fishing for Future Jacob Where we inform our audience about sustainable fishing practices Dieter Melhorn Fishing DIETER MELHORN For me, fishing is more than a pastime, it's a lifestyle. Fishing is something that consumes me and occupies my thoughts even when I am away from the water. That fishing lifestyle is what this podcast is about. My specialty is fishing for trophy catfish, but I am also an avid fan of fishing for stripers, crappie, bream and perch. If you want to learn how to catfish, then you will definitely learn how in this podcast. However, if you are not careful, we will slip in some tactics, gear and strategies that will help you catch many other species of fish.
