Halloween is a multi-billion dollar celebration marked by witches, ghosts and goblins, candy and parties.
Not all Christians take part in Halloween. Some have taken a step back to rethink this tradition, and they have changed how they look at Halloween. Others say they honor God through Halloween by making it a Christian outreach — a time to share the Gospel with the lost. Still other Christians say we have the freedom in Christ to dress up in costumes, attend secular or church-based festivals, and take their children trick-or-treating. In this episode, Michelle and Amy take a look at where these traditions come from and what the Bible has to say about Christians and Halloween.

Excellent podcast. For myself, I do not participate at all with Halloween. I am a former pagan and followed some druid practices in the past. In that sense, I am a weak Christian. If I participate, it can make me stumble in my thoughts to my former life. Praise God that He has redeemed and set me free from those past sins!
Thank you for this great insight.
Having grown children I don’t have these issues too much.
And last year we moved to Germantown Wi to be near our children. However the condominium complex we moved to does not allow solicitation, which includes trick or treating. Problem solved. Lol
Bless you for all you do for His church!!
Thanks so much for listening and for taking the time to comment, Candace!
