    Episode 74 - What I Do Not Want to Be

    In a world increasingly divided by ideology, identity politics, and cultural fragmentation, Christians are facing a profound question: what does biblical love actually look like? In this episode of Teleios Talk, we step away from pure doctrinal discussion to examine a troubling pattern of violence, social breakdown, and ideological extremism emerging in modern culture. Why do people commit acts of shocking violence? Why do societies fracture when trauma strikes? And how should Christians respond when biblical convictions are labeled as intolerance? Drawing from psychology, sociology, and Scripture, we explore: • Why humans search for reasons and warning signs after tragedy • How cultural trauma reshapes societies • The influence of ideology and identity crises • Why people inevitably “serve” something — self, power, ideology, or God • What the Bible teaches about worship, justice, and truth • What real Christian love looks like in a hostile culture Most importantly, we examine how the Gospel calls believers to something radically different from the world’s response: Forgiveness instead of revenge. Prayer instead of hatred. Truth spoken with love. Willingness to suffer rather than destroy. The message of Christ does not ignore evil or soften truth. Instead, it reveals a love powerful enough to confront sin, call people to repentance, and overcome violence without becoming it. If you are seeking a deeper, biblically grounded understanding of culture, discipleship, and Christian witness in difficult times, this episode is for you.

    Christmas I've Had

    Christmas I've Had [Verse 1] I've never had a roasted chestnut. I've never had plum pudding.  The closest I've been to a hallmark Christmas, Is candy canes and hot chocolate. I've never been to Bethlehem. I've never lived just like Mary. I closest I've come to seeing Jesus, Is when I asked Him in my heart. [Chorus] Come to Bethlehem and see Baby Jesus, carpenter's son. The Messiah of all people, Christmas the birth of a King. [Verse 2] I've always wanted presents under the tree. I've always wanted the snow. The closest I've been to a hallmark Christmas, Is shopping mall Santa's knee. I've always wanted to see the Lord. I've always wanted to sing His name. I closest I've come to seeing Jesus, Is seeing Him up on the cross. [Chorus] Come to Bethlehem and see Baby Jesus, carpenter's son. The Messiah of all people, Christmas the birth of a King. [Bridge] Jesus, I've seen Him die. Jesus, I've seen Him arrive. Jesus, I've seen Him rise. And that is what's special This Christmas day. [Chorus] Come to Bethlehem and see Baby Jesus, carpenter's son. The Messiah of all people, Christmas the birth of a King. [Tag] The Messiah is here. Text us now.

    The Father Gives

    The Father Gives [Verse 1] How is it I can be the man  chosen to raise a king? What do You see, in who I am, to teach the Son of man? Yet, You chose me to be the one, who listens to Your voice. But I am scared, Lord God, I'm scared, To train this little boy. [Chorus] Father above, what grace You show, to trust Your Son to me. I see His face — Your light on earth, a gift of mystery. My hands are rough, yet You have planned, this night through history. The Father gives, the father stands, in awe this Christmas day. [Verse 2] The angels came and spoke Your name,  to comfort and to guide. To take this role, to be the one, To look into his eyes; And teach Him to do all those things He knows, the faith and trust. But look at me, I'll bend my knee, and praise You, Messiah! [Chorus] Father above, what grace You show, to trust Your Son to me. I see His face — Your light on earth, a gift of mystery. My hands are rough, yet You have planned, this night through history. The Father gives, the father stands, in awe this Christmas day. [Verse 3] A father's love and sacrifice  gives all He has, and more. To hold his child and see them grow But feel the sting of pain. A father lets His children fall To see them rise again But did I know how true that was,  for the child in cradle laid. [Chorus] Father above, what grace You show, to trust Your Son to me. I see His face — Your light on earth, a gift of mystery. My hands are rough, yet You have planned, this night through history. The Father gives, the father stands, in awe this Christmas day. [Bridge] What kind of night, what kind of grace, that God should sleep so near? My heart is full, my hands still shake, with wonder, love, and fear. I see myself within this plan, so small, yet chosen too. If You could trust this child to man, then I can trust in You. If You could trust this child to man, then I can trust in You. Text us now.

    The Tree

    The Tree [Verse 1] We celebrate this Christmas time, With gifts under a tree. So of't I've wondered why it's so  And what it means to me. It's said that once, so long ago, Boniface came to town; And saw the tree was idolized, And so he cut it down. [Chorus] But I see Shepherds gathered round, A string of garland shows. I see the magi's gifts displayed, Hung gently, balls and bows. I see the angels choir above, Calling us to see. And standing back, the tree itself, Shows holy Trinity. [Verse 2] For what are symbols if they fail To teach us of our Lord. And then become traditions held Without our God adored. We turn our eyes to things of man  Our heart is gently swayed; To see this thing with sinful eyes, And miss glory displayed. [Chorus] But I see Shepherds gathered round, A string of garland shows. I see the magi's gifts displayed, Hung gently, balls and bows. I see the angels choir above, Calling us to see. And standing back, the tree itself, Shows holy Trinity. [Bridge] Christ was born on Christmas day To call all men to Him. And so we gather round a tree, And share a Christmas hymn. And glorify our God above, Who sent His Son to die; His light shines bright on darkest day, A gift of eternal life. [Tag] Ancient practice  Means to me My saviour On a tree We celebrate His gift to us We celebrate  His love. [Chorus] But I see Shepherds gathered round, A string of garland shows. I see the magi's gifts displayed, Hung gently, balls and bows. I see the angels choir above, Calling us to see. And standing back, the tree itself, Shows holy Trinity. Text us now.

    The Witness of Bethlehem

    The Witness of Bethlehem [Verse 1 - Luke 2:11] I saw the sky  that holy night, The heavens blazed  with living light. The shepherds ran,  their voices cried, “The Savior’s born!  The Lord Most High!” I followed close —  to stable fair, And bowed before  my Maker there. [Chorus] Down from glory,  light of grace, Down to earth,  my hiding place. Heaven’s mercy,  child of man, God with us —  Emmanuel. [Verse 2 - Zechariah 9:9] Years went by, I saw Him come, Riding to  Jerusalem. Crowds were shouting,  “Blessed be!” I wept for them —  they could not see. The same who healed  with gentle breath They hung up high  and cursed in death. [Chorus] Down from glory,  light of grace, Down to earth,  my hiding place. Heaven’s mercy,  child of man, God with us —  Emmanuel. [Bridge - Matthew 28:6] Then morning broke —  I heard them say, “The tomb is bare,  He’s gone away!” I ran to see —  the grave was still, The prophets true — The Law fulfilled. He stood alive —  my Lord, my friend, The One who came  did rise again. [PreChorus] Up from darkness,  up from pain, Up to glory,  Christ now reigns. Born to die  Born to save, Hallelujah  to the Lamb! [Chorus] Down from glory,  light of grace, Down to earth,  my hiding place. Heaven’s mercy,  child of man, God with us —  Emmanuel. [Tag] I saw the child,  I saw Him die, I saw Him risen,  glorified. From Bethlehem  to Heaven’s throne — He came down…  and rose again. I heard him cry,  I watched him die,  I saw him rise I saw him rise. I heard him cry,  I watched him die,  I saw him rise I saw him rise. I saw Him rise I saw Him rise! Text us now.

    This Christmas Day

    This Christmas Day [Verse 1] On snow-covered streets, light gently lay No angels sang, the night was still. In windows bright were toys and things But this does not the hollow fill. [Chorus] We've lost the love, We've lost the spark. We're chasing dreams, Yet feeling dark. If Christmas brings Hope to all men, Why are we lost, What good's it then? [Verse 2] I heard a voice sing "Silent Night", Yet all around was angry sound. We've lost our way by doing right,  The son of God this night came down. [Chorus] We've lost the love, We've lost the spark. We're chasing dreams, Yet feeling dark. If Christmas brings Hope to all men, Why are we lost, What good's it then? [Bridge] What does it mean? This peace on earth. Why don't we worship  Holy birth? If God came down, Where is he now? And did He come To this small town? [Tag] Oh, little child  of Bethlehem  The light of God,  come down to us Open our hearts To find a way, To worship You, This Christmas day. Text us now.
