Soulja Boy was never a project I thought I would be working on. It is amazing how many great artists' videos I get to put my fingerprint on.

A Short Family Devotional: Shining God's Light on Halloween

Halloween may feel like a night of darkness — but it's a beautiful chance for families to be the light. Here's a short devotional to share before you head out or welcome trick-or-treaters. 📖 Theme: Light in the Darkness Bible Verse: "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." — Matthew 5:14 🗣️ Devotional Thought: Tonight, the world might celebrate darkness, but we are called to celebrate light. When we smile, share kindness, and hand out candy with a blessing, we are showing others a glimpse of God's heart. Just like a flashlight brightens a dark room, even the smallest act of love shines brightly in a world that needs hope. Ask your kids: How can we shine God's light tonight? What are some ways we can make someone’s night better? 🙏 Prayer: "Dear God, thank You for being the true Light in our lives. Help us to share Your love tonight through kindness, smiles, and blessings. Let everything we do sh...

Outreach Ideas for Christian Families on Halloween Night

Halloween gives Christian families a unique chance to reach their community with love. Here are thoughtful ways to make an eternal impact: 🏡 Shine at Your Door Hand out candy along with Scripture cards or encouraging notes. Decorate with lights, pumpkins, and positive, welcoming signs like “You Are Loved!” Greet every trick-or-treater with genuine joy and a warm blessing. 🚪 Trunk or Treat Events Help organize or volunteer at a church “Trunk or Treat.” Decorate your car trunk with a Bible story theme — like Noah’s Ark or Jonah and the whale. 🎉 Host a Neighborhood Gathering Invite neighbors over for a fall-themed party with games, music, and treats. Offer prayer cards or blessing jars where people can take a Scripture with them. 🕊️ Acts of Service Deliver treats to local fire stations, hospitals, or shelters with notes of encouragement. Walk your neighborhood with your family, praying quietly over each home. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, "Let...

When Halloween Didn’t Go as Planned — And God Still Showed Up

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday. Growing up on the farm, trick-or-treating meant bundling up in thick coats over costumes and hopping in and out of a cold car. I loved the candy, sure, but the whole thing never made much sense to me. As a father, I've warmed up to Halloween a little — but the focus on witches, ghouls, and all things scary still bothers me. Thankfully, my children have often chosen costumes that reflect brighter, more wholesome characters. This year, though, was different. I started looking forward to Halloween all the way back in June — planning, preparing, strategizing. It was going to be a Halloween like no other. 🎈 The Dream: Turning Halloween Into a Mission Every summer, our neighborhood hosts a big garage sale. My son Parker and I usually run a small food stand — lemonade, coffee, cookies. Last year, we took it up a notch: we added a grill and donated the proceeds to a family whose son has autism. The joy we saw inspired us to think bigger. This ...
