Speaking Your Lingo
Christianity | Culture | Worldview
There are many great thinkers of the past, and with each generation we are moving further away from them. These brilliant men and women had a goldmine of insights and ideas shaped by a Christian worldview that we are now missing out on. Our goal at Speaking Your Lingo is to dig up these valuable insights and shine a light on them for our current cultural moment. We want to share this wisdom in a way that honors those of the past and yet speaks the lingo of this generation. Welcome to Speaking Your Lingo, helping this generation think well about Christianity, culture, and the world around them.

In this episode, I tell the story behind Silent Night, the most popular Christmas carol of all time and, by some accounts, the most recorded song in history. But there's more to this classic than just its melody—its connection to the WWI Christmas Truce makes it a symbol of peace and hope during the holiday season. Tune in to discover the story behind the beloved Christmas classic.
