Curated topics for a disillusioned church
Podcasts about Halloween.
After reminiscing about the questionable choices of having haunted houses at church and judgment houses in the 80s and 90s pastors Tommy Meador and Trey Rhodes of Northwood Baptist Church (North Charleston, SC) touch on the history of Halloween before discussing five ways to approach Halloween.
The church is in the business of redeeming all things in the world - and that includes Halloween says American Vision president Gary DeMar. According to Demar, the fear that many Christians have when confronting Halloween is preposterous as Jesus has already claimed victory over death and darkness.
If you didn't already know, the origins of Halloween are not cut and dry. As a result, pastor Bobby Conway says it is up to the Christian conscience on whether to participate in the holiday or not. Start at the 4:27 mark to get to the Halloween talk and don't miss the discussion about watching horror movies at the end of the podcast.
For some Christians, Halloween should not be celebrated. For others, it is an enjoyable holiday. Using Romans 14 as a guide pastor J.D. Greear says that whether you celebrate or not you should respect the other side's decision and, at the very least, Christians should use the holiday to connect with their neighbors.
