My friends, today’s show is one that Americans need to hear.
While I was out, guest host Gary Varvel filled in, and he didn’t pull any punches. What he laid out wasn’t partisan politics or cable-news outrage. It was something deeper, older, and far more serious.
He walked us through the biblical diagnosis of what we’re watching unfold all around us: a culture that has rejected truth and is now living with the consequences.
We are told that the chaos around us is random. That it’s just a policy failure. That if we pass the right law, fund the right program, or silence the right people, everything will calm down.
But that explanation doesn’t hold up anymore. Violence without remorse. Moral confusion without limits. A society that celebrates what it once instinctively knew was wrong.
The Bible doesn’t describe this as progress. It describes it as judgment—not always in the form of fire from heaven, but in something far more sobering. God stepping back and allowing people to experience life without Him. Romans chapter one calls it being “given over” to our own desires. Not because God is cruel, but because truth rejected eventually collapses reason itself.
That’s why this conversation mattered so much, especially at Christmas. Because Christmas is God’s answer to a world that can’t save itself.
God didn’t send legislation. He didn’t send a committee. He didn’t send an army. He sent a Savior. A baby born into poverty, humility, and obscurity, who came on a rescue mission. Not to affirm us in our confusion, but to redeem us from our sin.
What we’re witnessing today—violence, antisemitism, hatred of Christians, disdain for human life—is not accidental. It’s spiritual. When God is removed, life loses its sacred value. And when truth is replaced with feelings, society doesn’t become compassionate. It becomes brutal.
When truth is rejected, then reason collapses.
But here’s the hope.
Christmas reminds us that darkness doesn’t get the final word. Truth still exists. Redemption is still offered. And eternal life is still a free gift—one that must be received, not earned.
We don’t need a better slogan. We don’t need a smarter policy. We need revival. We need hearts turned back toward truth. And that starts with individuals—families, churches, and communities—choosing the narrow way again.
The world says, “Trust yourself.” Christmas says, “That experiment failed. Trust the Savior.”
That message is countercultural. It always has been. But it’s also the only one that has ever transformed hearts, restrained evil, and given lasting hope.
As we celebrate Christmas, may we remember not just the manger—but the cross. Not just the birth—but the mission. And may we have the courage to stand for truth, even when the culture insists on calling it something else.
No matter who you are or who you vote for, I hope you believe upon the name of Jesus Christ — for He can save us from our sins.

Todd Talk: Christmas — The Costly Gift of God’s Redemptive Plan
My friends, Christmas represents the moment God became flesh and dwelt among humanity. On the surface, it’s a beautiful story of peace, love, and grace. But when you look deeper, you realize how costly that story truly is.
Before God ever created humanity, He knew relationship would come at a price. Scripture tells us the serpent would strike His heel. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, and by His stripes, we are healed.
The entire Old Testament points to the Messiah, and Jesus fulfilled prophecies no one could accidentally fulfill. His birth. His life. His death. His resurrection.
This is the greatest story ever told.
May we pause this Christmas to reflect on its true meaning, that God set into motion His redemptive plan for all who call upon His name. If you haven’t yet, I hope you do so.
Merry Christmas, my friends.
