Is it always necessary to throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Is it completely unnecessary to consider the roots and practices that shaped a culturally popular holiday?
Perhaps there is a third way...

Side note: CJ and Bethany apologize for not finishing talking through the marriage series! Between ministry, full-time jobs, family visiting, and sick kids, we have gotten behind.

Bible study is about so much more than what a verse "means to me". Here are 4 tips to help you arrive at a correct understanding of a passage from the bible.
Pastor CJ Pearce talks with Pastor Deonte Walters about his testimony and what it means to be Reformed. This conversation is the first of a few to explore different denominations within Christianity and demonstrate that while we have some significant differences, we also have so much that unites us. Therefore, while the views of the guests in this series are not necessarily those of Pastor CJ, it is wise and educational to engage with those outside of our own theological camps. Shout out to City Seminary of Sacramento for bringing CJ and Deonte into the same classroom and pouring so much into the students attending!
In this episode, Bethany Pearce shares the struggles and joys of growing up in a ministry family and marrying a Pastor.
