In this episode, we’re exploring how to fully enjoy fall without focusing on Halloween. For many Christian families, balancing festive activities with faith can be challenging. I’m sharing creative ways to embrace the beauty of fall, celebrate joyfully, and create lasting, faith-centered memories.

Here are a few... listen in for all the inspo and ideas!

Finding Joy in Fall:
The Bible mentions harvest over 80 times. Whether you’re enjoying fall hikes, leaf collecting, or simply admiring nature, it’s the perfect season to reflect on God’s creation and goodness.

Family Traditions and Feasting:
From apple picking to baking, fall offers countless ways to create family traditions. I share some of our favorite activities, like visiting pumpkin patches and making apple treats.

Faith-Focused Activities:
I introduce “The Pumpkin Parable,” a fun way to carve pumpkins with a Gospel message, plus fall crafts and gratitude trees to incorporate faith into the season.

Serving Others:
This fall, consider giving back through acts of kindness like delivering baked goods to first responders or helping neighbors with yard work.

Faith-Focused Decorations:
Instead of typical Halloween decor, we focus on natural elements like cornucopias, sunflowers, and fall leaves that remind us of God’s provision.
