Pastors And Pizza – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, the pastors visit Freddy's Kitchen at the Yonder Cider Taproom in Cashmere, WA along with guest pastor, Zach Day, and ask the question God once posed to Ezekiel: “Can these bones live?” Together we explore how God breathes new life into what feels dead—our faith, relationships, and communities. Join us as we talk about moving beyond routine religion into the abundant, hope-filled life Jesus promises and how the church can be a place where dry bones come alive again.

In this episode, the pastors try most of what Jet's Pizza in Lynnwood, WA has to offer and dives into one of the most uncomfortable—and revealing—questions in Scripture: “Do you do well to be angry?” (Jonah 4:4). Jonah was furious when God showed mercy to people he thought didn’t deserve it. Sound familiar? We’ll talk about what Jonah’s anger exposes in us, why our culture seems more outraged than ever, and how the gospel offers a better way to respond. From righteous anger to road rage, we’ll explore what it looks like to trade resentment for peace and pride for trust in a God who’s slow to anger and rich in love.

Grab a slice and join the conversation—because if Jonah can get mad at God, maybe we all need to ask whether our anger is really doing us any good.

In this episode of Pastors & Pizza, the pastors visit Gracie's Place in Sultan, WA, where cozy vibes and delicious slices set the stage for a thoughtful discussion. With the recent California wildfires, the pastors wonder, "Was that God's judgment?" and tackle the tough topic of God’s judgment in general—what it means, common objections, and how to approach these conversations with grace and truth. Tune in for practical insights, great pizza, and encouragement to navigate faith in everyday life!
