On today's Quick Start podcast:

NEWS: A tragic plane crash in North Carolina claims the lives of NASCAR star Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, and their two children. We break down what’s known so far — including the humanitarian mission tied to the flight and the ongoing investigation.
FOCUS: Nicaragua is banning Scripture. We explain what tourists and churches are being prohibited from doing, what religious freedom advocates are warning about, and why this crackdown signals a broader assault on faith in the country.
MAIN THING: Author and former skeptic Lee Strobel joins Tré Goins-Phillips to discuss The Case for Christmas, unpacking the historical evidence for the Nativity and explaining why the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ birth differ — and why that actually strengthens the Christian case.
LAST THING: Joshua 1:9 — “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
