Matt and I are both from North Queensland (originally), both conservative Christians and conservative politically. We have a number of topics we might discuss. I think the number one topic that Matt wants to discuss is that we both grew up in Independent Baptist circles.

One of the books of the New Testament (in the Bible) is Paul the apostle's Epistle (Letter) to the Galatians (the people of the region of Galatia which is now in Turkey). It's not common to think of the book of Galatians in relation to Christmas but there's a very important verse in this book that very clearly links the book to Christmas. We'll do a quick summary of the first two chapters and then go a bit slower for the final 4 chapters when the topic of Christmas and why Jesus was born really come to life.
