Welcome to Pastors & Pizza, the podcast where we discuss pizza and the intersection of faith and life. In this episode, we dive into a few different topics, including the search for the best frozen pizzas, what's been happening in our lives lately, and the issue of Christian cynicism.

First up, we continue our search for the best frozen pizza - from Tombstone to Red Baron, we give our opinions on the best and worst of the freezer aisle.

Next, we catch up on what's been happening in our lives. From ministry updates to personal reflections, we share what's been on our minds and hearts lately.

Finally, we tackle the topic of Christian cynicism. We discuss how easy it is for Christians to become cynical towards fellow believers while examining the root causes of this cynicism and the harmful effects it can have on our faith and relationships. We also discuss the tendency for Christians to "eat their own" and the importance of extending grace and love to one another, even when we disagree.

Join us for a fun and insightful episode of Pastors & Pizza as we discuss frozen pizza, life updates, and the challenge of Christian cynicism.

Money is a necessity in our society and it shapes much of what we do, where we live and even how we act. So why is this topic so frequently off-limits? What is a tithe? Are Christians still "supposed" to tithe? The pastors discuss this taboo topic while devouring a Jalapeno Popper Pizza from Monroe Pizza & Pints.
