10: Halloween, Freedom, and a Clear Conscience
Can Christians celebrate Halloween? Seth and Shannon talk about freedom in Jesus, honoring your conscience, and loving others who make different choices. Drawing on Paul’s discussion of food sacrificed to idols in 1 Corinthians, they consider why fear doesn’t have to drive family decisions—and how Halloween can be an opportunity to connect with neighbors.
Plus, childhood trick-or-treating memories, the Hein family’s Spider-Verse costumes, and a few quotes from the kids.
