While Luke is apparently waiting for someone to return his tiny suit, Ben, Chad and David discuss the spiritual reality of our world, why it seems so many people are unaware of it, and if there is such a thing as being overly spiritual.

Episode 127: Is Halloween Harmless Fun, Commercialized Evil, or a Unique Opportunity for Impact? Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

How should Christians respond to Halloween? Is it just harmless fun? Or is there something truly evil about it?

The guys get into a rowdy debate over how far is too far when it comes to fantasy and ‘horror themes’ in entertainment. They also discuss whether Halloween can be used as a unique opportunity to reach people for Jesus.

Oh! AND a regular contributor to the podcast makes an in-person appearance!!! Let’s just say he dresses like a clown and doesn’t really talk much…
