Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel discuss the celebration of holidays (22:30): Biblical (25:00), patriotic (31:30), Christian-ish (36:00) (think Christmas and Easter), and totally UNChristian American holidays (1:01:45). There is a way to navigate each types for the good of your family. They also go into tangents about the moral implications of buying Nike sneakers (1:30), Steven’s newest credit card fetish (7:00), a USA Today article about Americans with no savings (12:00). What we know is that 1. God loves celebration, 2. We’re free to interpret these things and use them as we see fit, and 3. There is grace for us in the process!
