🎙️ The P.A. Episode 69: 2025 Christmas Extravaganza!

Our biggest holiday episode yet is here! 🎄
We sit down with Troy Handeland for a rich and encouraging conversation about Christmas — and his story of how God brought him to Chapin Baptist, how he came to follow Christ, and the joy of serving as an elder candidate and member of our church family.

Then we turn up the heat with a round of “Hot Take” theological questions, tackling topics like:

🔥 Hot Takes We Dive Into:
• Is the obsession with identifying the Antichrist a distraction from actually following Christ?
• Has the church romanticized the end times more than it fears the holiness of God?
• Have we softened our view of heaven or hell?
• Is “online church” actually church?
… and more.

Perfect listening for your drive, your wrapping session, or your Christmas-week moments of peace.

🎧 Tune in and join the conversation!
