As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, I want to take a moment to reflect on how blessed I am to have this incredible community. Your prayers, support, and fellowship have been a true gift this past year, and I’m deeply grateful for each of you.
Looking ahead to 2025, I feel God stirring big plans in my heart for this community. I’m excited to share more in the coming months, and I’m trusting in His guidance to make this next year one of growth, encouragement, and deeper faith for all of us.
This Christmas, let’s fix our eyes on the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ, who came to bring light and hope to a weary world. May this season renew your hearts with His peace and joy, and may His love fill your homes and families.
Thank you for walking this journey with me. I’m praying for each of you, and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for 2025!
In Christ’s love,
Emmanuel
I sat down with Dr Paul Vitz, a psychologist at New York University, to talk about the intricate relationship between fatherhood and atheism, highlighting how dysfunctional father figures can predispose individuals to atheism. We spoke about prominent atheists like Richard Dawkins, Friedrich Nietzsche and Christopher Hitchens, examining their familial backgrounds and the psychological implications of fatherlessness. At the end, we touched on the differences in how men and women approach atheism, the current fatherhood crisis, and best practices for fathers to represent God effectively to their children.
