The leaves turn, the air cools, and culture gears up for Halloween—so we ask the question many avoid: should followers of Jesus take part, try to redeem it, or walk away? We open the season with honesty and compassion, tracing Halloween’s origins, sorting cultural nostalgia from kingdom wisdom, and challenging the idea that freedom in Christ means doing what everyone else does. Freedom includes the courage to say no, especially when a celebration trains our appetites toward fear and fascination with darkness.

The Gospel Twins unpack how annual rituals—costumes, horror, and candy runs—shape families more than we realize. Repetition is power. If birthdays and communion form us, fear festivals do too. The brothers talk through strongholds, how a “one-night” exception can become a spiritual foothold, and why many former occult practitioners warn that the unseen realm is not a playground. Parents get practical tools: how to explain a different path without shaming neighbors, how to create joyful fall alternatives, and how to teach kids that peace, not pressure, leads our choices. If your kids love costumes and treats, we share simple swaps that keep the fun and ditch the occult.

Along the way, the G.T.s keep it real about everyday life—therapy, dog training wins, and navigating wild car prices—and close with a health tip on ashwagandha for stress and focus. The heartbeat is the same throughout: live with intentionality, guard your peace, and ask the Holy Spirit for a clear yes or no. Autumn is beautiful on its own; it doesn’t need darkness to shine.
