About this listen

We spend most of the year teaching our kids not to talk to strangers or open the door to people they don’t know.

But on Halloween, everything changes. We turn on our porch lights, open our doors wide, and welcome whoever knocks — offering gifts to anyone who asks.


In this episode of Unforeseen Journey, Sarah Scott reframes Halloween as one of the most profoundly Christian holidays we celebrate — a night when generosity replaces fear and the gospel plays out in miniature on our own front porches. Drawing from Hebrews 13:2 (“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it”), Sarah explores what radical hospitality looks like in everyday life and how we can carry that spirit into the rest of the year.


What if the holiest thing we do this season isn’t found in a church… but right at our doorstep?
