Why I Don't Follow Christian Bandwagons (And Neither Should You)

Should Christian families celebrate Halloween? Instead of jumping on the latest bandwagon, I'm sharing my family's personal convictions and the important distinction between authentic spiritual discernment and trend-following.In this episode I open up about why we don't do Santa Claus, how I still let my kids trick-or-treat, and the questions every Christian parent should ask before making faith-based family decisions. This isn't about what YOU should do—it's about encouraging genuine conviction over Christian peer pressure.📌 Key TakeawaysAvoid bandwagon Christianity - Don't make family decisions based on what's trending in Christian social mediaSeek authentic conviction - Ask what the Holy Spirit is convicting YOUR family about, not what others are doingBe consistent - Apply spiritual discernment across ALL areas of life, not just controversial onesTrust your calling as a parent - God chose you to parent your children for a reasonQuestion the inconsistency - If you're concerned about Halloween's pagan roots, examine Christmas and Easter traditions tooThe Income Blueprint: Unfiltered is the podcast for entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners who want to build real income without the fluff.
