In this episode, Brett and Erin share simple but meaningful family liturgies and traditions you can incorporate around the dinner table this Thanksgiving to help you reclaim the gratitude at the heart of the holiday.

Christian pop star, Forrest Frank made some viral comments in recent months giving his reasons for why he doesn't drink anymore. Much of Evangelical Christianity would share Frank's view and advocate for total abstinence. But what does Scripture say about alcohol? Is it sinful to drink? In this episode, Brett and Erin look at Frank's reasons for abstaining from alcohol, what Scripture teaches, and what our view of alcohol says about our wider understanding of sanctification.
