11 Dec 2025
Chapter 1: What humorous incident does Jase share about a yard Santa?
So no matter how you slice it, we're definitely in a divided time in our country. There's no way around it. We see it every single day and watch the news. And so I think in this time of division, we have to have consistency, the speaking into the values that we believe in. One of our good friends, Tony Perkins, heads up an organization called Family Research Council. He's a Louisiana guy.
He's a pastor. He has our heart. for Jesus. He even did a blurb in Dad's book, A Theft of America's Soul.
Chapter 2: How do the disciples react to Jesus' resurrection?
And it's just been there for us as a family, but also as a nation. So FRC is standing for what's right. They defend faith. They protect families. They remind leaders that biblical truth still matters. So when others compromise, our friends at FRC stand firm, because if we lose our foundation, we lose the soul of our nation.

Chapter 3: What does the Bible say about the guards at the tomb?
So welcome back to the Unashamed podcast. Jace, you got any good stories for us during the Christmas season? We are firmly in the Christmas season.
I have actually a good Christmas story. It rides the roller coaster of Depression, sadness, but with a happy ending. So I actually told this story last night. I preached last night at the Hub, and this was a perfect story. It was a perfect illustration because, you know, the first thing I say when I get up to speak is that I'm not a preacher. but I will preach when called upon.
Chapter 4: What evidence supports the resurrection of Jesus?
And I say that kind of in an indirect way to say the only reason I'm here, because I didn't get paid for speaking last night, is because I believe this to be true. Of course, then I talked about Jesus and the King of Kings. So I kind of told two stories. The first one was we took my neighbor duck hunting yesterday in the spirit of love your neighbor.
And as soon as we sat down in the blind, Jay was out, get the decoys out. And my neighbor, who's a fireman and a farmer, he said, hey, I heard a message you gave on TikTok, which I've never been on TikTok, but I'm familiar with what's happening. And then, you know what he said? He said, I didn't know you were a preacher. And so, well, that's my opening line to my speech.
So I said, well, I'm actually not.
Chapter 5: How does fear influence belief in the resurrection?
I'm a believer. And so then I just started that morning off in the blind with my neighbor telling him what I believe, which went down a nice rabbit hole in introducing Jesus to my neighbor, which was awesome. So I started that. But also when I got back home, we had a little man. And, of course, since I was gone in the morning, he was so excited when I got there.
And he's like, let's go see if Santa Claus is back from the North Pole. Now, for you, that might not mean much. But what happened is last year, my next-door neighbor, Willie's in-laws, they put up this ladder. I think I told this story before. And there's a Santa Claus that climbs up the ladder.
Chapter 6: What is the significance of Mary’s encounter with Jesus?
Well, for a little man... This was the most awesome thing he had ever seen. And I tried to go into this. This is the image of Santa Claus. I'm trying to get in his head. We're created in the image of God. We're a reflection. This is little Santa Claus. reflecting big Santa Claus at the North Pole, but I'm not sure he's getting the concept.
But he has asked me for the last 11 months when Santa Claus is coming back.
Chapter 7: How do different characters in the Bible respond to the resurrection?
Let's go see if he's back. And so I wasn't sure, but I thought there's a chance because now that we're past Thanksgiving. So I was like, here we go. Of course, you got to remember this. So for 11 months, this trip has ended in disappointment. And so I pulled around the corner, and Santa Claus is back on the ladder. And this boy went nuts. I mean, just unbridled joy. Big Santa Claus is on the way.
I mean, he got in front of the ladder.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of believing in the resurrection today?
I took pictures. We did a video. He wanted to touch him. It was awesome. In fact, he was so joyous. that my neighbors came out of their door trying to figure out what the ruckus was all about. And it gave them a lot of joy. Here's where the problem happened. So we go back to our house, eat lunch, and he couldn't stand it. He's like, let's go see if he's still there.
I'm like, oh, he's still there. Nope, had to go see. So we get back in the golf cart. We ride over there. Well, something had happened, which I've found out now, that this thing's on a timer. And so when we pull in, he's just stuck on the ladder. Uh-oh. Al, this kid had a meltdown. He's like, Santa has died. He's frozen on the ladder. Tears were poured out.
And I mean, I couldn't think of anything to say. I was like, this kid is devastated. No Christmas, I'm not getting any presents. He just went down just a rant of like, Christmas has died because this Santa Claus, probably built in China,
had stopped working and so then it hit me i said no he's not dead he's taking a nap and he was like oh oh yeah he's he's taking a nap because and you know where i got that from i thought this is why the english translation of the bible got into this when people die they just fall asleep because we we just don't know how to deal with it and i thought thank you lord for doing that
So we go back home. I felt like I made the best of a bad situation. Meanwhile, I'm sending a text to my neighbor. I'm like, whatever you got to do, we need to get that thing back working, which is then he said, well, it's on a timer. And it caused panic from their point of view because I was like, you've dashed this kid's hopes and dreams.
And he's like, well, I don't know if I can get to it today.
Because you're not sure how long the nap analogy is going to hold if you keep going back over there.
I got lost when you said you were. You took your neighbor hunting to share Jesus with him, and I was going down the road. Different neighbor. Different neighbor. Because all the neighbors are family. I'm like, who are we talking about here? Is it Willie?
The point is, love your neighbor for crying out loud in the spirit of failure. How hard is it? To love God and love your neighbor. I was just wondering, what's the downside?
