Sacred or Scrap?

An Almost Perfect Podcast ·

2024/11/18

Churches often hold tight to traditions, rituals, and practices that may have once been meaningful but now feel more like clutter than a gift. In this episode, we talk people leaving junk behind for their families and ask: Are we doing the same with our faith? Are we passing down spiritual junk or leaving behind something of real value?
