The Christian’s response to Halloween can be, well, tricky. Should parents allow their children to dress up and go door to door asking for candy? Should they attend a local church’s harvest festival or trunk-or-treat event instead? And what about all those ghosts, goblins and ghouls you’ll encounter everywhere you go this month?

In this week’s video blog, I talk about my own family’s approach to Halloween and why we go trick-or-treating.

For more on Halloween and the Christian’s response to it, check out my short ebook, Thoughts on Halloween, which contains two articles that delve into the history of the holiday and how Christians have responded and provide ideas on how to guide our children through the maze of witches, goblins and vampires that proliferate the landscape in October.
