Welcome to this episode of Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge, where each week I offer 15 to 20-minute answers to tough theological and pastoral questions. This is a 100% recorded audio ministry of relearn.org.

And for those who don't know, our mission at relearn.org is to educate and equip ordinary

Christians to plant biblical, confessional, and missional house churches. For more information, just

visit.org forward slash house.

Big question. Is Halloween a holiday that Christians should embrace and or celebrate?

What are churches to do about it? Are we to use Halloween as an outreach event? What does the

Bible really say about these matters? We're going to be discussing this and more. But before we

begin, I just want to make one quick announcement. St. Justin's, as many of you know, is a companion ministry of ours, and it's a church planting

school. Many of you have realized that many churches are no longer meeting in person and in large

crowds, and this has caused more and more Christians to be interested in planting a house

church with a few other Christian families. That said, we really believe that nobody should plant

and pastor a church without training, and for that reason we created St. Justin's School of Biblical

Church planting, which is basically a one-year

diploma program for men. We teach students, I should say, to exeat, to preach, to shepherd,

and to plant a biblical house church in their local community. In fact, we just launched a brand

new three-minute video about the program

that you can watch right at the homepage at st.justins.org. That's just st.justens.org.

The 2021 class space is very limited, but there are a few spots left.

And if you're interested in learning more, you can just apply online before December 20th,

2020.

We'd love to have you maybe pass that along to somebody else that you might know who may be

interested in planting a house church in the coming year.
