Hold on. Every day I wake up. Wake your ass up. You're all finished or y'all's done. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Sholomaine de Guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. We have Pastor Mike Todd. Welcome back, brother. What's going on, fam? Are you good today? Yes. How are you feeling?

How you doing, brother?

I feel great man y'all look good

in here thank you before we dive into to anything i do have a question because they would make it

fun of me right what's up i was speaking to a pastor and we were talking about the celebration of

Halloween okay and we used to go all out as a family.

We used to do these videos and, you know, make it fun. And I used to decorate the house. And the pastor said, I don't know if it's a good idea to go that far into it. She said, I'm not going to tell you don't trick a treat, but what you're doing might be a little too far. I got you. What's your thoughts on it? So there is a whole bunch of different camps on this, especially as people are actually coming out of that holiday. My thing is this is a season where the origins of it are very dark, demonic, let's say evil. There are specific things though that happen in our culture that I believe can be redeemed

So I have little kids that actually like dressing up and if they dress up not on Halloween

It's not a bad thing. It's like, oh, look at him. He looks like a

little, a little princess or anything like that. So what me and my family do is we use this opportunity

to reach people with what we believe, with faith. We use this moment to bless people, to give to

them to actually, this is a time for people to actually meet their neighbors.

Do you know how many people live in their neighborhood and never talk to their neighbors?

Never actually, you drive by them, you look at their Christmas light, but you never talk to them.

So we use this as a moment to actually meet our neighbors.

We invite them to church.

We bless them with the best candy.

We actually talk to them and use it because all things can actually work together for good. I definitely think

that there are some evil things that happen in this season. Also, I think to the pure, all

things are pure. And there is something good that can come out of every situation. Also at the

church, we do fall festivals and we bring kids to the church.
