Episode 1079 Show Notes 

From the Show

Depending on the culture where you come from, I can see why pumpkin carving could seem like a form of idol making. But we should hear from Paul in 1 Corinthians 8 and the bigger discussion around Christian liberty. And Paul says that we should be careful to not make one another stumble with the things that we do and the things that we accept.
