This special Advent edition of “Headlines” features three rounds of Advent and Christmas-themed news stories, with two fabricated by the host and one real headline. The guest’s challenge is to identify the real story, which serves as a springboard for a deeper theological discussion. The conversation weaves together humor, insight, and reflections on Christ’s incarnation and return.

The Rev. Matthew Kusch, pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to be quizzed on and unpack holiday headlines.
