In this episode of The After Sunday Show, Pastor Heath and fellow pastors discuss their top three books they would bring if they were unjustly imprisoned for life ranging from devotionals and theology to biblical languages and classic Christian works. Their conversation wanders through book choices, personal reading habits, and Thanksgiving traditions, including Pastor Scott’s legendary yeast rolls and Pastor Sean’s elaborate table decorating. The episode closes with a discussion about how Christians should engage politics biblically without compromising gospel priorities.
