    This Trick Is No Treat: The Pagan Origins of Halloween | Podcast – Part One | Episode 24

    Send us Fan Mail Halloween is often viewed as a harmless celebration filled with costumes, candy, jack-o’-lanterns, and trick-or-treating. But how much do we really know about its history—and should its origins matter to Christians today? In Episode 24 of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, Mark Long begins a two-part study examining the history and traditions surrounding Halloween. In Part One, Mark explores the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Druids and their religious practices, beliefs surrounding the dead and the supernatural, and the pagan influences that became associated with Halloween over the centuries. More importantly, this episode turns to Scripture to ask a deeper question: How should followers of God respond to traditions and practices with roots in paganism and the occult? Through passages from Ephesians, Revelation, Hebrews, Matthew, Ecclesiastes, Deuteronomy, and other books of the Bible, Mark contrasts darkness with light, death with life, and the traditions of mankind with the teachings of God. Is Halloween really nothing more than innocent fun—or is there more behind the celebration than most people realize? Listen to “This Trick Is No Treat — Part One” and then take the time to study the history and Scriptures for yourself. And always remember: You Are Worth It! Part Two will continue the study of Halloween, its history, traditions, and what Scripture has to say about them.

    Send us Fan Mail In Part 3 of our Easter study, we turn our attention to one of the most debated questions surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ: Did Jesus actually die on Good Friday?

Together we explore:  The biblical meaning of the Preparation Day  John 19:31 and the High Day Sabbath  The Feast of Unleavened Bread and its connection to the crucifixion timeline  Matthew 12:40 and the prophecy of three days and three nights  The role of the women who witnessed Christ's burial and prepared spices  Why some believe the traditional Good Friday to Sunday timeline does not align with the Gospel accounts  A chronological review of Christ's final week leading to His crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and ascension This episode encourages listeners to examine Scripture carefully, compare traditions with the biblical record, and seek understanding through prayerful study of God's Word. Key Scriptures: Matthew 12:40, Matthew 27–28, Mark 11–16, Luke 23–24, John 19:14, 31, 42, Leviticus 23:6-7, Joshua 24:15, and Revelation 18:4.

    Episode 18 Podcast - Easter: What Does That Word Mean? (Part 1)

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 18 - Easter: What Does That Word Mean? What is the true meaning of Easter, and where did many of today’s Easter traditions come from? In Part 1 of this series from Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, we begin an in-depth study into the history of Easter, the origins of common traditions, and how they compare with scripture. Most people associate Easter with eggs, rabbits, baskets, sunrise services, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But are these traditions rooted in the Bible, or do they come from somewhere else? In this episode, we begin examining:  The meaning and origin of the word “Easter”  The “sign of Jonah” in Matthew 12:38–40  Questions surrounding the Good Friday and Easter Sunday timeline  Sunrise services and biblical references  The importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth This episode is not about attacking anyone’s beliefs or traditions. Instead, it is an invitation to study, examine the evidence, and compare history and tradition with scripture. Scriptures Discussed:  Matthew 12:38–40  John 4:24  Acts 12:4  Ezekiel 8:15–17 This is only the beginning of the study. In future episodes, we will continue exploring the origins of Easter traditions, including:  Easter eggs  The Easter bunny  Hot cross buns  The preparation day and High Day  The timeline of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection Thank you for listening to Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today.
