Should Christians participate in Halloween? Glenn Sunshine comes back on the podcast to discuss the history of Halloween. We investigate its origins and how it changed over time. He also informs us how Halloween is celebrated differently today than it was in centuries past, and he helps us discern if a Christian should take part in Halloween celebrations.
