Christmas is full of tradition! Do you know where these traditions came from? Most of them are rooted in a pagan religion around the winter solstice feast on Dec 25th. Jesus was most likely not born on Dec 25th... Humans attached the celebration of his birth on the winter solstice. Most of the bells, decorations, and even the Christmas tree have pagan roots. So... Should we celebrate Christmas? Join Myron Jellison and Kalyn Hines in the Shanty Studio.

The movement of Jesus was so irresistible and experience exponential growth in the book of Acts. There was such a focus on being hospitable, sharing the needs of people, and daily fellowshipping.

What would it look like to apply a radical ethic and value of biblical hospitality into our daily lives? In the Shanty Studio today are Myron Jellison, Ryan Proctor, and Kalyn Hines.

A disciple is a person, not a process. A disciple is a student of or a follower of someone. So what does it mean to be discipled? What is horizontal discipleship? We are called by Jesus to "go and make disciples"... what does He mean by that? Is it a process someone goes through? Is it the responsibility of the person making the disciples to "make a disciple"? Or do people have to choose to follow someone else? The conversation and idea of discipling others is robust and fraught with different opinions. This is a command of Jesus, but expressed in very different ways. Join Myron Jellison, Ryan Proctor, and Kalyn Hines in the Shanty Studio!

The election is over... Your candidate got elected, or your candidate didn't get elected... now what? How should Christians live in light of the election outcome? How can we live out Romans 13 when it comes to governing authorities? This election has produced the most divisive political climate and it seems as if it's only going to get worse. Join Kalyn Hines, Ryan Proctor and Myron Jellison in The Shanty Studio.

Do you feel and see the discrepancy in male to female ratio in the church? It appears as though there are more Godly woman than there are men. Why is that? It seems as if woman are more involved in faith and prioritize church involvement. So this leaves us with a void of Godly men... We need to call boys to be men... We need a transition from boys to men... (not the musical group thought.... haha) Join Myron Jellison and Kalyn Hines in The Shanty Studio to unpack this idea.
