Send us Fan MailCORRECTION: “Descended into hell” not Lord’s Prayer - but Apostles Creed.Questions for the Week:Do you believe in ghosts?Halloween is an interesting subject in the church. Some churches and faith communities swear that Christians should not celebrate or participate in Halloween. Other churches love Halloween festivities and actively hold events for it.

WatersFounder and Lead Pastor of the Abundant Life African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dallas, TX & award-winning author, activist, and social commentatorGuest Question:In the church, we often don't know how to talk about tough issues, especially with children. We either assume they can't handle the truth or that they don't have any real power to make change so we don't engage them. How do we engage children about tough issues and empower them to think more and responsibly take action? Are there examples of media (books, films, arts, etc.) that do this?
