Should Christian families celebrate Halloween? Instead of jumping on the latest bandwagon, I'm sharing my family's personal convictions and the important distinction between authentic spiritual discernment and trend-following.

In this episode I open up about why we don't do Santa Claus, how I still let my kids trick-or-treat, and the questions every Christian parent should ask before making faith-based family decisions. This isn't about what YOU should do—it's about encouraging genuine conviction over Christian peer pressure.

📌 Key Takeaways

  1. Avoid bandwagon Christianity - Don't make family decisions based on what's trending in Christian social media
  2. Seek authentic conviction - Ask what the Holy Spirit is convicting YOUR family about, not what others are doing
  3. Be consistent - Apply spiritual discernment across ALL areas of life, not just controversial ones
  4. Trust your calling as a parent - God chose you to parent your children for a reason
  5. Question the inconsistency - If you're concerned about Halloween's pagan roots, examine Christmas and Easter traditions too

In each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.
