38 | What's Really Behind Halloween: A Faith-Led CEO's Perspective | Should Christians Care About Halloween? A Conversation for Faith-Led CEOs (Part 1)

Every October, the same questions start creeping in: 👉 What do I do with Halloween? 👉 Is it harmless fun, or something I should be cautious about? 👉 What does it mean for my family, my business, and my calling? If you've ever wrestled with these questions, you're not alone. And today's episode is for you. This week on the Sustainable Foundations Podcast, we're kicking off a brand-new series on spiritual warfare—a topic most people don't want to talk about… until October forces it into the spotlight. But here's the truth: this battle isn't limited to one day a year. The unseen war is happening every single day. And as Faith-Led CEOs, the moment we said "yes" to building God's Kingdom through our businesses, we stepped onto a battlefield. In This Episode, We'll Talk About: Why Halloween stirs up so much tension for Christians (and why it's about more than October 31st). How the Bible points to the reality of the unseen world—and what that means for us. What it looks like to "give the devil a foothold" (Ephesians 4:27) and how subtle compromises open the door to distraction, discouragement, and division. Why your role as a Faith-Led CEO makes discernment more important than ever. Practical ways to guard your home, business, and leadership without living in fear. Key Scriptures: Colossians 1:16–17 — "For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…" Ephesians 4:27 — "Do not give the devil a foothold." Resources Mentioned: Seeing the Unseen by Joe Beam — the book that opened my eyes to the daily reality of spiritual warfare. Loved this episode?
