Episode 95: Lives That Catch the Light (Advent Saints), Part 2--Nicholas

In their Advent series about the lives of people who reflected the light of God (that we sometimes call "saints"), pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve take a look at the story of the authentic Nicholas of Myra, a 4th century bishop from what is now modern-day Turkey, and what his life, witness, generosity, and faith have to tell us today.  We'll sort out solid history from modern myth, and even explore whether the inspiration behind "Santa Claus" really punche a heretic at the Council of Nicea!  As we take a look at the life of Nicholas, seeing both what was good and what might not be so good from his life, and how our calling to be "saints" comes, not with miracles and magic but with God using all of our ordinariness to reflect the light of Christ.  Join us for some surprises about who Nicholas was, and why his story matters, in this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk!
