On this week's Faith/Life Podcast episode, pastors Matt and Nathan have a thoughtful discussion about whether Christians should participate in Halloween. After briefly covering recent news, they dive into the history of Halloween, addressing its origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
Examining how the holiday has evolved over centuries, they consider common arguments against Christians celebrating Halloween, like connections to pagan rituals or Satanism. Ultimately, they conclude it should be a matter of personal conviction and Christian liberty.
Christians can choose to celebrate Halloween without glorifying evil, using it as an opportunity to be a light in their community. Likewise, Christians uncomfortable with the holiday are free to abstain.
The pastors have an entertaining time coming up with creative Biblical costume ideas for Christians who want to celebrate. Tune in to hear their hilarious suggestions!
