On this episode of the Pastors & Pizza Podcast, the pastors visit Ram Restaurant in Lake Stevens, WA for the 1971 Classic and ask one of the most searching questions Jesus ever asked: “Why are you so afraid?” As anxiety, uncertainty, and fear seem to shape so much of modern life, we discuss how fear influences our decisions, our relationships, and even our faith. Together, we explore what it means to trust Jesus in unstable times and how Christians can live with peace instead of panic in the middle of life’s storms.

In this 50th episode of Pastors & Pizza, the pastors try the limited-edition Detroit Style pizza from Papa Murphy's and dig into a question that feels more relevant than ever: “What causes quarrels and fights among you?” from James 4:1. In a world full of tension, outrage, and division, we explore why conflict isn’t just about what’s happening around us—but what’s happening within us. We unpack the common ways culture explains conflict and contrast that with the deeper, heart-level diagnosis Scripture gives. Then we offer a practical, biblical path forward for pursuing peace, humility, and real transformation in our relationships.

In this episode of Pastors & Pizza, the Pastors head to 67 Pizza in Kirkland, WA to grab some incredible Detroit-style pizza and then wrestle with one of the most important questions ever asked: “What is truth?”

That’s the question posed to Jesus during His trial in the Gospel of John (18:38), and it’s a question that feels just as relevant today as it did then. In a culture full of competing opinions, “your truth” and “my truth,” how do we know what’s actually true?

If you’ve ever wondered how faith intersects with the big questions of life—or if you just enjoy good pizza and honest conversation—pull up a chair and join us.

Because sometimes the best conversations about truth happen around a table… with a really good slice. 🍕
