Why I Don't Follow Christian Bandwagons (And Neither Should You)

Maren Crowley

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.
