Does everything really happen for a reason? It’s one of those phrases we hear all the time, especially when life gets hard—but is it actually biblical? This time, the Pastors dig into where this familiar saying comes from, why it can sometimes do more harm than good, and what the Bible really teaches about God’s sovereignty and providence. Along the way, they tackle the tension between trusting God’s plan and admitting we don’t always know why things happen, all while enjoying the Firecracker pizza from Local Myth in Chelan, WA. Grab a slice and join the conversation: is “everything happens for a reason” biblical truth or just a Christian cliché?

This time on Pastors & Pizza, we head to Bob’s Corn & Pumpkin Farm to try their Street Corn Pizza. While we dig into the pizza, we tackle one of the most commonly misquoted Bible verses: “Money is the root of all evil.” What does Scripture actually say about money, greed, generosity, and the condition of our hearts? Grab a slice and join us for another honest conversation about faith, life, and the things we sometimes think the Bible says.

Does God really just want you to be happy? In this episode of Pastors & Pizza, we sit down at A Pizza House in Everett, Washington, to unpack this popular phrase and ask what the Bible actually says about happiness and joy. What happens when what makes us happy conflicts with what God asks of us? Join us as we explore why following Jesus doesn’t always mean choosing the easiest—or happiest—path, and why God may have something far better in mind.
