Finding Faith, Losing Sleep Podcast

• Episode 37: Candy Corn Is Not A Fruit Of The Spirit, But It Helps

  Send us a textWhat if the line between conviction and compassion is thinner than we think? We pick up the mics after a long pause and walk straight into a season-sized question: how should Christians approach Halloween without losing sight of love, wisdom, or joy. From All Hallows’ Eve and All Saints’ Day to modern front-porch outreach, we explore the roots, the drift, and practical ways to keep the night anchored in light—think warm welcomes, clear boundaries, and traditions that cherish kids without glamorizing darkness.The conversation widens into the battleground of our times: social media pride, algorithmic echo chambers, and the pressure to win every argument. We talk about what gentle boldness looks like, how to speak truth with patience, and why edification beats dunking culture every time. Ecclesiastes frames the moment with hard-won wisdom—chasing total understanding can be futile—while the Psalms offer rest for tired minds and anxious nights. We name the thief of joy called comparison and trade highlight reels for real gratitude: imperfect families, small rituals, and honest faith that steadies the heart.You’ll hear candid stories, Scripture that grounds action, and practical ideas you can try this week: reimagined fall traditions, kinder online habits, and a simple practice of prayer when sleep won’t come. If you’ve felt torn between standing firm and staying kind, or wondered how to find peace in a loud world, this one meets you on the road, at the porch light, and in the 2 a.m. quiet. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help more people find these conversations. Then tell us: where do you draw the line—and how do you keep love at the center?Email: [email protected]: @FindingFaithPod

Join us as we navigate this profound question through the lens of faith, family, and friendship, sharing personal stories and insights from our own spiritual journeys. Wes opens up about his enriching experience with a chronological Bible reading program, while Michelle explains how reading scripture aloud has brought new depth to her understanding. As we gather for this special Thanksgiving edition of the Finding Faith and Losing Sleep podcast, we uncover the challenges and joys of maintaining motivation and gratitude during the holiday season.In our exploration of leadership, we consider the transformative power of faith-guided decision-making in both personal and political realms. From the inspiring leadership of biblical figures like King Josiah to the modern-day challenges of navigating polarized political landscapes, we draw intriguing parallels between leadership styles past and present. Our discussion also brings to light the wrestling-like drama of contemporary politics, urging us to question media narratives and seek clarity through faith-driven choices.As we reflect on the notion of true wealth, inspired by Forrest Frank’s song "Rich Man," we ponder the balance between spiritual devotion and worldly attachments. The conversation extends into the realm of sports, where we find inspiration in faith-driven athletes like Tim Tebow, who stand firm in their beliefs. With hearts full of gratitude, we express our thanks to our listeners, inviting you to continue this journey with us as we seek to foster a community grounded in faith, love, and an appreciation for life's blessings.Email: [email protected]: @FindingFaithPod
