Is it Wrong to Celebrate Christmas?


Listen Later

Should Christians celebrate Christmas? In this candid episode, Wes McAdams challenges the idea that celebrating Jesus’ birth violates biblical principles. Drawing from Romans 14-15 and Colossians 3:17, he unpacks why compartmentalizing life into “religious” and “secular” categories misses the point.

Wes encourages believers to see Christmas as an opportunity to welcome those weak in faith—people curious about the manger, hungry for hope, and longing for peace. Rather than pushing seekers away with debates, he invites Christians to make everything about Jesus and use this season to strengthen faith, not squash it.

Plus: An exciting announcement about 2026!
