I got a call out of the blue from someone who works for KTAR in Phoenix. They run a show every Sunday called, "The God Show." It's a wide open show where the host talks with various people about their ways of thinking about God. It's not limited just to Christians. People from many faiths have been on the show.

The host, Pat McMahon, got a copy of my Christmas story and wanted to talk to me about it. We taped an hour show last week. He played two chapters from the Christmas story and chatted with me quite a bit. I was flattered by his kind words.

The show will be played several times Christmas day. If you want to listen, they have a live stream.

The God Show will be heard at:
     1am Mt. Time Christmas Eve
     7-8am , 5-6pm Christmas Day and
     12midnight to 1am Christmas night.

Note: All times are in the Mountain Time Zone.

Their website is 620ktar.com There is a Listen Live! link toward the right-hand side.

I should have mentioned this a few days ago, but tonight I'm going to be a guest on Christopher Lydon's Open Source radio show. I got an email about this a few days ago but somehow let the date slip up on me. It is Monday, right?

The subject we are discussing is how Christianity works with and within our democratic system of government. Christopher Lydon has gone to great pains to emphasize that this is not a show about the separation of church and state (something that I value GREATLY). Instead, the question is, how should Christians live out their Christianity within our culture and government? If you are a Christian and a politician, say, how does your faith contribute to your work? Where are the boundaries?

It's an interesting subject, and I'm looking forward to the conversation. Other guests are Bill McKibben and Ted Haggard. Information about them is available at the open source website.

There is a live stream of the conversation at 7pm EST. Links to that stream are also at Open Source.

This kind of stuff is still VERY weird to me. I can't quite wrap my mind around it. It helps if I remember that it's Real Live Preacher they want to talk to. I guess I can understand that. So okay, I don't mind letting him out to talk on the phone now and again. ;-)
