Episode Details

Every October, Christians seem to have the same debate: Should Christians participate in Halloween at all?

Is trick-or-treating harmless fun? What about costumes, pumpkins, harvest festivals, scary decorations, or the darker parts of Halloween? And at what point does a personal conviction become something we start requiring of every other Christian?

In this short episode of Truth Over Trends, Ingrid shares how her own family’s approach to Halloween has gradually changed over the years—and why she believes this conversation is about much more than simply deciding whether Halloween is “good” or “bad.”

We’re talking about what Scripture actually condemns, what may fall under Christian liberty, how Halloween can become an opportunity to teach our children biblical discernment, and why Romans 14 should make us very careful about judging another believer’s conscience in disputable matters.

You don’t have to blindly participate in everything the culture celebrates. But you also don’t have to turn your family’s personal convictions into commands Scripture never gave.

The better question may not be “Can Christians celebrate Halloween?”

It may be:

“How can our family honor Christ in the way we approach it?”

🎙️ Listen now, then come tell me: Has your family’s approach to Halloween changed over the years?
