Should Christians celebrate Halloween or refrain from being involved in anything that even remotely resembles witchcraft or the demonic?   And to what extent should we understand evil spirits and the devil as playing a role in our failures and mistakes?  In this episode we discuss the danger of going to extremes, both in the over the top fear that the devil is involved in everything, but also the naive and ignorant choice to believe the devil isn't involved in anything.  Wisdom calls us to understand our freedom in Christ and not fear the power of the devil or overreact - and to take personal accountability for our actions - but also to be aware and wary of the lies he tells and the ways in which some things really are evil and possess danger and destructive power.  

Staying with this theme, we also take a look at the odd and confusing statements in Jude and 2 Peter about imprisoned spirits who are being held in chains waiting for judgment.  What is that all about and does it have any connection to the story of the Nephelim in the book of Genesis?  Listen in to hear more!
