## Resource

🎄 Are Christmas trees and holiday lights pagan? What about gift-giving or Santa Claus? In this episode of Wise Counsel , we explore how Christians can engage with cultural traditions—especially around the holidays—without compromising the gospel. Drawing from the teachings of Dr. Michael Heiser and biblical precedent, we ask: Can tradition be redeemed for God’s glory?
