Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Is trick-or-treating really participating in something evil? And does dressing your child up as a ghost, witch, or superhero somehow compromise your Christian faith?

In this episode of Two Pastors: Conversations About Everything, Pastors Jason and Robby tackle some of the misconceptions surrounding Halloween and Christianity. They explore the history of Halloween, its connection to All Hallows' Eve and All Saints' Day, and what Scripture actually says about participating in cultural traditions.

They also discuss the importance of teaching children the difference between imagination and reality, respecting personal convictions, and recognizing that not every tradition we were taught is a biblical commandment.

Could Halloween actually be an opportunity to show Christian love and hospitality to our neighbors?

Grab some candy and join the conversation as we separate fact from fiction, faith from fear, and discover why celebrating Halloween doesn't have to conflict with following Jesus!

Episode 41: Jesus Is Praying for You

We often tell people, “I’m praying for you.” But have you ever stopped to consider that Jesus is praying for you, too?

In this episode of Two Pastors: Conversations About Everything, Jason and Robby explore one of the most humbling and empowering truths in Scripture: Jesus prayed for us before His crucifixion, and He is still interceding for us today!

In John 17, we get an incredible glimpse into Jesus’ prayer for His disciples and for those who would come to believe in Him. That includes us! But the story doesn't end there. Hebrews reminds us that Jesus continues to intercede on our behalf, and Romans tells us that even when we don't have the words to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.

We also explore the great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12 and what it means to run the race of faith knowing we aren't running alone.

What would change in your life if you truly believed that Jesus is praying for you? How would it change the way you face challenges, approach prayer, or navigate life's most difficult moments?

It's a truth that should humble us, encourage us, and empower us.

Because before you ever prayed to Jesus, Jesus prayed for you. And He's still praying for you today.

Join Jason and Robby for a conversation about prayer, grace, encouragement, and the incredible assurance that we never face life alone.

Have you ever gotten so far inside your own head that something that might happen suddenly feels like something that definitely will happen? That’s what we call some good old-fashioned “Stinkin’ Thinkin’.”

We all have thoughts that can run wild, worry about work, fear about the future, lust, anger, insecurity, comparison, resentment, or even entire conversations with people that never actually happened. We may not be able to control every thought that enters our minds, but we don’t have to give every thought permission to stay.

In Episode 40 of Two Pastors: Conversations About Everything, Jason and Robby dig into Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 10:5 about taking “every thought captive.” What does that actually look like in everyday life? How do we recognize when worry has turned into an irrational story we’re telling ourselves? And how do prayer, Scripture, and the renewing of our minds help us separate what feels true from what actually is true?

We also talk about the important difference between everyday thoughts that need to be challenged and real mental-health struggles that may require professional help. Faith, prayer, counseling, and mental-health care don’t have to compete with one another.

So, what thoughts are you allowing to run wild? Maybe it’s time to take some of that Stinkin’ Thinkin’ captive.
