SHOW NOTES
Today, I’m talking about the topic I usually get the most pushback from on social media – Halloween. Although Halloween typically brings around candy and costumes, it can raise many questions for Christians.
Should we allow our kids to dress up? Should we hand out candy?
On this episode of Fearless, I share my family’s perspective—and what my grandmother, Ruth Bell Graham, thought about the holiday.
