Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Is any of that spooky demons and ghosts stuff true? I used to think Halloween was just a harmless holiday. Kids dress up, go trick-or-treating and hang out with friends and family. I grew up doing a costume parade at school (Catholic school!) and carving pumpkins in Youth Group. Have you ever looked into the origins of Halloween? I did during quarantine and y'all... my view on it is forever changed. Take a listen to hear my perspective on why Christians shouldn't celebrate Halloween. I really want to encourage y'all to do your own research as well. Fair warning- it will take time! So many different cultures and religions have their own view on the history of Halloween and it will take awhile to sift through everything to find the true origins. Linked below are some of the resources I personally used when I was researching this topic.

Are you struggling to have bold faith? Is it hard for you to put 100% of yourself into your faith? Are you nervous about what your family and friends will say about you when you start truly living out the Christian calling? I used to be the same way y'all! In this episode, I'm unpacking how I went from never expressing my opinion when I knew it was the minority opinion to becoming a podcast host sharing all about the trials I've overcome and spreading the Gospel. Let's start praying those bold prayers y'all!

Are you posting that so it brings attention to you or attention to Christ? Is that influencer you follow making you sing in worship or run straight for your credit card and an online shopping bag filled? Social media can be wonderful but it's so important to have boundaries with it too!
