54. Unmasking Halloween: A Biblical Perspective
Manage episode 373675772 series 3376649
Join us as we navigate a potentially sensitive topic - Halloween from a Christian perspective. We promise you a journey through our own personal experiences, discussions that will challenge your preconceptions and inspire you to have open conversations about these decisions with your loved ones. This is not about condemnation but about understanding and respecting different views while making thoughtful choices.
We share our personal decision to abstain from Halloween celebrations, a choice not taken lightly and certainly put through its paces. Hear about our adventures, the challenges faced, our conversations with our children and our neighbors. This is a journey we believe has been led by the Lord, a conviction that has shaped our lives. Gain insight into navigating these choices, and maybe even find solidarity in our experiences.
Finally, we delve deep into the origins of Halloween, starting from the roots of paganism to the creation of All Saints Day in the 7th century. We debunk misconceptions about the term 'pagan,' and reveal the ties between modern-day Halloween and new-age spiritual practices. And yes, witches are part of the discussion too. Let's dissect the power of language, its impact on culture and spoken history. This is a conversation you certainly wouldn't want to miss. Join us, and let's discover together.
