• #234 Should You Lie to Your Kids About Santa?

  Joe examines the debate over whether you should lie to your kids about Santa Claus. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to tackle a controversial question even amongst Christians should parents lie to their kids about Santa Claus? My position is simple. If you want to tell them the true story of St. Nicholas, that’s great. If you and your kids want to play Santa, go for it. But lying is always wrong. You shouldn’t lie to anyone.

• #231 Being “Left Behind” In The Rapture Is Good Actually…(I’m Serious)

  Joe explains how common misconceptions about final judgement and the end times make people misinterpret what it means to be “left behind.” Transcript: Joe: Welcome, back to Shameless Popery.
