Dan & Can Podcast 144: Holy Fear & Halloween: When Faith Gets Spooked
Description
In this Halloween-themed episode of the Dan & Can Podcast, we dive into the irony of Christians fearing Halloween while their entire religion centers around death, sacrifice, and resurrection.We share and react to a few TikToks (be patient with us—we’re learning the feature!) that highlight the yearly outrage over Halloween, where some believers insist that celebrating it opens the door to evil.Can also brings out some vintage Chick tracts—the tiny comic books her parents used to hand out with Halloween candy—that taught kids that Jesus only loves you if you believe, and that trick-or-treating could be your one-way ticket to hell.What starts as a funny trip down memory lane turns into a deeper look at how fear-based faith shapes behavior, holidays, and even childhood joy.Lighthearted, nostalgic, and thought-provoking—this one’s a perfect blend of spooky and spiritual.If you’ve ever been told Halloween was “evil,” this episode might help you laugh—and heal—a little.Interested in facing your triggers, getting better sleep, or learning to regulate your nervous system in a natural, organic way?
