Merry Christmas! What is Christmas all about anyway? What is Advent? Why was Jesus born in a manger to a virgin?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the LouCruandYou Podcast team and all of Cru! This Christmas episode answers common questions surrounding the Christmas season. We help Charlie Brown answer what Christmas is really all about, why we celebrate Advent, what is the Incarnation, and was the Grinch right about it being about gifts, gifts, gifts? We answer this and more with hopes that this Christmas you can know the real reason for the season.

Is there an unforgivable sin? What if I have committed it?

There is nothing you can do that God cannot forgive... right? This episode looks at the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit and unpacks this famous "unforgivable sin." We clarify what this sin actually is and look at God's forgiveness.

Why do miracles happens less frequently today than in the Bible? Do they happen at all?

Miracles Happen... or so the song goes. Miracles are all over the Bible; Jesus turns water into wine, feeding the 5,000, and of course, Jesus rising from the dead! Today is seemingly different though, why do they happen less often? Are miracles even possible today? That is what today's episode covers.

What is marriage? How should I date? What if I am single?

Single, dating, marriage oh my! It can be confusing. What if I want to date someone, what should I look for? What if we are dating and I want to marry? And is being single a bad thing? All this and more are answered on this episode, through a biblical perspective as always. We discuss being content, boundaries to set, and what to look for before even thinking about dating someone.

What is prayer?

"How do I pray? Should I pray? Does God hear my prayers?" With our first episode of this semester, we tackle the topic of prayer in the Bible. With a new semester starting and midterms seemingly around the corner, I know we need a lot of prayers right now. But does prayer even "work" and what is the point of praying anyways? All that and more will be discussed and hopefully, by the end of this episode, you will be praying continuously! At least, that is our prayer ;)
