A New Take On The Christmas Story
The story of Jesus Christ has been told and retold for centuries, but a new FOX Nation special looks to tell the story from a new lens. Jesus Crown Of Thorns takes a look at the politics of the time of Jesus and the turmoil that engulfed the life of the savior and his disciples. Associate Professor in the Classics at the University of Iowa, Professor Robert Cargill joins to discuss the story of Jesus and the strife that faced the Apostles. As 2024 approaches, the Rundown looks back at the year’s best interviews. Was it divine intervention or just sheer luck? Pennsylvania pastor Glenn Germany walked away unscathed following an unusual attack during routine Sunday services back in May. The pastor stared down the barrel of a gun during his sermon after twenty-six-year-old Bernard Polite claimed God told him to enter Jesus’ Dwelling Church and shoot him. The commotion was live-streamed on the church’s Facebook page, leaving parishioners stunned. Germany joins the Rundown to talk about the incident and how it led him to be closer to God. Plus, commentary from Pastor Robert Jeffress of the Dallas First Baptist Church.
