🎄 NO ROOM IN THE INN: A Theology Nerds Christmas Special 🎄
Last week, Tripp and Bo played Hallmark Movie Mad Libs—and things got wildly out of hand.

With answers shouted out in real time (and some help from the chat), we accidentally wrote an entire progressive Christian Hallmark Christmas movie. It has everything:

🦌 A hunky taxidermist with a heart of gold
⛪ An Episcopal deacon hiding her collar from her boyfriend
🐩 A three-legged poodle named Gretzky
🍖 A food bank called "The Roadkill Cafe"
📖 Marcus Borg's The First Christmas as a plot device
🎤 A karaoke scene featuring Georgia Satellites
👶 A childhood photo of our leads as Mary and Joseph in a church pageant
🦌🚗 A tragic deer-related backstory
💔 A boyfriend who gets a little too into Jordan Peterson
This week, we're reading the full script LIVE.

Grab your eggnog, settle in, and join us for No Room in the Inn—a love story about coming home, finding faith in unexpected places, and learning to take the Bible seriously without taking it literally.
Will you laugh? Probably (at us).
Will you cry? Maybe (not).
Will you question how this all came from a Mad Libs game? Absolutely.
