About this conversation
Christmas is here — traditions, Santa debates, family chaos, candlelight services, and all the questions Christians secretly argue about every December. In this Christmas edition of the DSP, Aaron, Zach, and Seron talk honestly (and hilariously) about: - Whether Christian families should embrace Santa or ditch him altogether - Why traditions matter — and when they become a burden - The pressure pastors feel during the busiest season of the year - How to keep Christ at the center of the season without becoming “that” Christian - The tension between cultural Christmas and gospel Christmas - Childhood Christmas memories that shaped our faith From shepherd’s dinners with wooden spoons to smashed PlayStations, Advent candles, communion on Christmas Eve, and the Great Santa Debate—this episode is equal parts funny, convicting, and surprisingly tender. 🎄 Christmas Eve Services: SLW — 3 & 5 PM PGA — 5 PM 👉 Enjoy the episode?
