We go seasonal this month in Married to the Media as we begin to address the ever-looming problem of the Holidays: how do we keep up with all the advertising? How can we tie in the holidays to our faith traditions? And is it all about candy, or do all these spending-filled crazy days have a lingering spiritual meaning?

Pastor Robin and Cass address all of these concerns in their Halloween episode! If you're concerned about occult messages and want to know how to talk about the season with your kids, or are just looking for inexpensive costume ideas, we've got you covered on this week's Married to the Media!
