Valuing Ancestors as Christians with Jim Peterson

In this episode, I am here with my good friend, Jim Peterson, serving in Japan for almost three decades! Jim is a lover of Jesus and a second-generation missionary in Japan. Currently, Jim and Hydi are Evangelical Covenant Missionaries in the countryside of Japan. They live on this beautiful mountain called Mt. Akagi where they run the Akagi Bible Camp and host various ministries throughout the year. Jim is a lover of all things mountain, outdoors, and theology. In this episode, we talked about the gray area of what it means to honor and revere ancestors, holding the tension of the Japanese traditional yet being true to Christianity.
