Ep. 87: What Do You Wanna Know Wit’s Day (Christmas and the Lord’s Day)
Back by popular demand, my pastor, Rick Witmer (whom I call Wit), is on the podcast today to tackle some of your most pressing questions.
We start with one that’s relevant for this time of year: “Is it biblical to celebrate Christmas?”
And then, we move on to a biblical examination of why Christians worship on Sundays (instead of Saturdays) and what role Sabbath plays in the modern-day believer’s life.
As you can see from the long list of Scripture references below, Wit infuses all of his answers with ample support from God’s Word. Whether or not you arrive at the same conclusions, I know you’ll be edified by his careful and thorough examination of your questions with the Bible as his guide.

Ep. 86: Finding Gratitude in Unlikely Places
If we’re honest, we all have something to be grateful for: breath in our bodies, sun on our faces, a warm bowl of soup in our bellies, the sound of our children laughing in the other room…
And then there are the even more obvious reasons to be thankful: job promotions, new babies, wishes fulfilled.
But what about the things we don’t feel thankful for? Could there be any room for gratitude there? Any purpose or meaning behind the struggles we didn’t hope for?
I believe, from personal experience and Biblical principle, the answer is yes! Join me as I unpack this truth in Episode 86.

Ep. 85: Influencing Our Children for Good (a Chat with Kirk Cameron)
Join me as I chat with Kirk Cameron about how we as parents can have a godly influence on our kids, even with the clamor of worldly voices in their ears.
We chat about current culture, Kirk’s goal in leaving mainstream Hollywood content creation, and his new show, Adventures of Iggy and Mr. Kirk—a resource for young children to counteract anti-biblical messaging from secular society.
Be encouraged that you are not alone in the fight to disciple your children well in a way that honors God!

Ep. 84: An “Attagirl” for the Mama Bears
In a world which champions ungodly parenting philosophies, mocks the traditional family unit, and glorifies self over sacrifice, it can feel daunting to swim against the current of culture.
But I have seen (and heard from) so many mamas who are doing just that and making a difference for good in their communities and the world at large.
This episode is “an attagirl” and an encouragement to buck the status quo and value God’s wisdom above man’s.
I am honored to stand with the Mama Bears who fear God not man and are invested in raising their children in the “teaching and admonition of the Lord.”
Keep going. Your work matters, and the Lord is with you every step of the way.
