We started this episode laughing about cars made of popsicle sticks and our collective inability to drive in snow… and somehow ended up deep in the catacombs with St. Lucy. Her story isn’t the sanitized candle-crown version we learned as kids—this woman defied an empire, ditched a fiancé who felt entitled to her life, and literally brought light into the darkest places. She fed the hungry, protected her people, and paid the ultimate price for choosing compassion over control. This week, we're reclaiming the woman who shaped Christmas while history tried to snuff her out.

Dear Men, every holiday season there’s that one moment—the joke, the shrug, the silence—where we’re reminded how quickly our voices get dismissed. If you want to be an ally, not just a “nice guy,” this is where you stop coasting. The women in your life are carrying more than you think, and we’re done pretending it doesn’t hurt. Listen to this episode, because if you’ve ever wondered how to truly have our backs… this is your roadmap.

Jesus didn’t miracle up bread and fish so modern Christians could fight SNAP benefits. If the Son of God looked at a hungry crowd and said ‘yeah, we’re feeding everybody,’ maybe the bare-minimum Christian response isn’t calling hunger ‘good stewardship.’ If your faith can justify giving millions to church building campaigns but panics at the thought of feeding people, this episode might burn a little — and it should.
