Show Notes: Why I Don’t Celebrate Halloween
Being part of a homeschool group we would do so many things that were fun, field trips, and co-ops. When one of the families invited us to a Halloween alternative we jumped at the chance! My husband and I were both convicted of why we didn’t’ want to celebrate the “season.”
The deeper meaning
Heart convictions
Is it Jesus focused? Or service focused?
You can’t serve two masters.
