Should Christians Celebrate HALLOWEEN? (Dark vs. Scary, Black Mirror, Dressing up as Jesus?) | Ep. 29
Manage episode 380587237 series 3460654
Ever wonder if it's okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween? It's a question that sometimes comes up in the back of our minds, but one that most of us usually just ignore.
For some, Halloween is just harmless fun with candy and costumes. For others, Halloween is associated with spiritual darkness and should be avoided at all costs.
We believe God invites us to engage with him and do things out of conviction and intention (rather than passivity and ignorance), so it’s worth the thought and conversation to understand WHY & HOW we choose to participate (or NOT participate) in any activity–including Halloween.
We invite you to join us with an open mind and heart as we dive into the nuances of Halloween (and other popular celebrations / activities) and faith and share 3 key questions to think about – and hope you'll find clarity and ideas for how to honor and glorify God in ALL that you do.
