Episode 118 | Carrying the Weight: Friendships and Mental Health

In this episode, we explore the delicate balance of supporting a friend through their mental health journey while also protecting your own well-being. What does it really mean to carry the weight of a friend’s struggles, and how can we navigate the fine line between offering help and maintaining healthy boundaries?

We discuss practical ways to be there for your friend—whether through prayer, active listening, or guiding them toward professional help when necessary. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to be a “safe space” rather than attempting to be a “saviour,” and why that distinction is key to sustaining both your relationship and your own mental health.

Episode 113 | Christians and Halloween

In this episode, we explore the origins and evolution of Halloween, tracing it's roots back to ancient Celtic festivals and discussing how its meaning has shifted over time. We dive into the question of whether the holiday’s original significance should influence how we view it today, especially from a Christian perspective. As we examine the modern celebration of Halloween, we consider both its fun, community-building aspects, like trick-or-treating and creativity, and its darker associations. Can Christians participate in Halloween without compromising their faith? We also explore the potential redeemable qualities in Halloween traditions—hospitality, generosity—and discuss how Romans 14:5-6 might offer guidance on balancing personal convictions with scripture in navigating this annual celebration.
