    About this Episode

    On this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys will discuss and debate Christmas and its customs.  First it will be some fact versus fiction as the guys dispel some common Christmas myths and discuss the tremendous significance of Jesus coming in the flesh.  There is a lively discussion of Jesus as a newborn, infant and toddler--what kind of child was he like?  What about the  recentJupiter/Saturn conjunction being labeled as  the coming of the "Christmas Star?"  Is it, or is it just hype?  And what would the shepherds, and wise men have seen in the sky, and when?  There is also a spirited debate over favorite Christmas movies and least favorite movies.

    Episode 236-Post Roe Abortion, and Can Conservative Politicians Save America?

    Post Roe Abortion, and Can Conservative Politicians Save America?  It appears that Trump would support a 16-week abortion ban.  Is that enough  to  hang on to 100% of the Pro-Life vote?  Is it too weak? Will independent or undecided  voters think it is too restrictive?  Also, what if God's plan for the Church in America doesn't hinge on Donald Trump?  Will anyone in the Church embrace that?  Have so-called Evangelical Conservative/Republican voters been a good representation of Christ and the Gospel?

    In this week's National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys review the Mayorkas Impeachment Vote, the failed Border Bill, what to expect or not expect from this year's Superbowl Ads, and the shortcomings of the 'He Gets Us' ad campaign.  How did Alejandro Mayorkas survive an impeachment vote?  Why is the Border Bill a failure?  Will this year's Superbowl ads be 'woke'?  Does the 'He Gets Us' campaign support true Christianity, or is it a watered-down and woke version of Christianity?

Wade anniversary this past Monday, the guys move on to discuss if abortion is a losing issue for the GOP.  Biden and the Democrats are making it an issue.  How should the Republicans respond?

    Episode 231-The Ins and Outs of Cults

     After a brief look at the Iowa Caucus, The National Crawford Roundtable defines "what is a cult?"  What do cults do?  How can you avoid being caught up in an organization that acts like one?  Trumpers and Never Trumpers: how are they like a cult?  Or are they like a cult?  Why is there a fixation on him?  Why do Cult followers always defend their leader?  Is it because they are defending themselves?  Is it fair to say that MAGA is not about "America first" but "Trump first"?  Does MAGA love the Republican party or just Trump and Trump candidates?

What impact, if any, has Donald Trump had on Christianity in America?  Is Christianity in the U.S. better off now than in 2015?

    Episode 229-The Changing Virtues in American Society

    Episode 229-The Changing Virtues in American Society

    Episode 229-The Changing Virtues in American Society: While most Americans no longer hold a biblical worldview regarding morals and values, neither do the majority of professing Christians.  The National Crawford Roundtable looks at this and several stories reported over the last few days that allow us to address this phenomenon.  The guys review the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay over plagiarism charges and the reasons her credentials went largely unchecked until now.  They also look into the in-depth analysis of the fact that more Progressives are changing their tune on the National Debt, wondering if there might be such a thing as too much of it.  And what about a new report that Gen Z young adults have given up on the so-called "American Dream" and are more apt to adopt an "enjoy life now' mentality rather than build for the future?  Is hard work no longer an American virtue?  If so, how do Christian Conservative Americans work to reverse this trend?  How is this impacting the Church and the professing Christian community on the whole?
