John 1:5 — "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
👋 Episode OverviewHow did you celebrate Halloween growing up? And what do you do with it now as a Christian — especially if you have kids?
In this episode, we explore the surprising Christian roots of Halloween, its connection to All Hallows’ Eve and All Saints’ Day, and what it means to live as people of light in a culture that often celebrates darkness.
You'll learn how early Christians used this night to remember the saints, pray, and celebrate Christ’s victory — long before costumes and candy became the focus. And we’ll share practical, meaningful ways to approach Halloween with faith, joy, and biblical wisdom today.
