Introduction: Celebrating Halloween with Faith at the Center

Halloween can be a fun and creative time for kids, filled with costumes, candy, and games. As Christians, it’s important to make choices that align with our faith and values. While some may question whether Halloween is appropriate for believers, I’ve written an article explaining Why Christians Can Celebrate Halloween that you might find helpful. I believe that with the right focus, Halloween can be a God-honoring event where kids have fun while learning about Biblical characters, values, and stories.

Whether your child wants to be a Biblical hero, a heavenly angel, or even a superhero with good morals, there are plenty of faith-centered options. Below are 15 fun and faith-based costumes, ranging from Biblical characters to superheroes and animals, all reflecting values of courage, love, and faith. Let’s celebrate the holiday in a way that reflects the love of God and allows our children to express their creativity while learning valuable lessons.

1. Moses

Moses is one of the most prominent leaders in the Bible. He led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God. This costume, complete with a staff, reminds us of Moses' courage, faith, and trust in God even in challenging times.

2. Jesus

Dressing as Jesus is a beautiful reminder of His love, sacrifice, and the eternal hope He brings to all believers. Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God, who died on the cross to take away the sins of the world and offers eternal life to those who believe in Him. This costume can help children learn about and share the message of God’s love with others.

3. Queen Esther

Queen Esther is a powerful figure known for her bravery in the Bible. Through her courage and faith, she saved her people from destruction. The story of Esther teaches kids about trusting in God’s plan, even when the future is uncertain. This royal costume is both fun and deeply meaningful.

4. Angel Wings

Angels are God’s messengers and protectors, often sent to deliver important news or provide protection. This angel costume represents peace, hope, and the divine messages that angels bring. It’s a beautiful way for kids to embody the heavenly beings that serve God.


5. Captain America

While not a Biblical character, Captain America stands for justice, courage, and doing what is right—values that align with Christian teachings. This superhero’s mission to protect others and fight for justice makes it a great option for a faith-based costume with a modern twist.

6. Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is a symbol of strength, truth, and justice. She stands up for the vulnerable and fights for what is right, much like the strong women in the Bible, such as Deborah and Esther. Dressing as this powerful superhero can remind kids of the importance of standing up for what’s right.

7. Noah

Noah is a man of great faith who obeyed God’s command to build an ark, even when the world around him doubted. This costume is a wonderful representation of faith, obedience, and the trust Noah had in God’s plan. Pair this costume with animal props to bring the story of the ark to life!

8. Queen of Hearts

For a fun twist, the Queen of Hearts can represent love and compassion in a playful way. While this isn’t a Biblical figure, the idea of dressing as a queen who symbolizes love can align with Christian values of kindness and caring for others.

9. Shepherd and/or Joseph

Shepherds played a key role in the Bible, from caring for their flocks to visiting baby Jesus in the nativity story. A shepherd costume can also represent Joseph, who humbly followed God’s plan and protected Mary and Jesus. This timeless costume is a meaningful option that reflects humility and faithfulness.

10. Virgin Mary

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is an icon of faith and devotion. She accepted God’s call to bear His son, and her story is central to the nativity. A Virgin Mary costume can remind kids of her grace and obedience, making it a beautiful option for faith-based celebrations.

11. Esther

Esther's story teaches children about the power of prayer and trusting in God during difficult times. Dressing up as Queen Esther reminds us that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His kingdom. It’s perfect for a child who wants to feel like a courageous and faithful leader.

12. King (Biblical Times)

Kings like David and Solomon played vital roles in Biblical history. David was a man after God’s own heart, while Solomon was known for his wisdom. This costume allows children to dress as a wise and faithful king, reflecting leadership and devotion to God.

13. Lamb

The lamb is a symbol of Jesus, who is called the Lamb of God. This cute and gentle costume represents innocence and sacrifice, reminding us of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for humanity. It’s a meaningful and sweet costume for younger children.

14. Lion

The lion represents Jesus as the Lion of Judah, symbolizing strength, courage, and kingship. A lion costume reflects the power and authority of Christ and can remind children of the majesty of God’s kingdom. It’s a fun and powerful choice for kids who want to embody strength.

15. Superhero Capes

Let your child create their own faith-based superhero, embodying Biblical values like kindness, courage, and love. A customizable superhero cape gives them the chance to design their own character who stands for what is right and good.


Conclusion: Celebrating in a God-Honoring Way

Halloween doesn’t have to be about dark or scary themes. By choosing costumes that reflect our faith, we can make this a fun and meaningful celebration for the whole family. Whether your child dresses as a Biblical hero, an angel, a superhero, or an animal, you’re teaching them that Halloween can still honor God while being full of fun and joy.

Journaling Through the Valley: Finding Clarity When Life Feels Cloudy

Image
There are seasons in life when everything feels foggy—when questions swirl, clarity feels out of reach, and your heart is searching for peace. I’ve had those seasons. I’ve walked through moments that challenged my faith, shook my confidence, and made me question everything I thought I knew. And in those times, I turned to what has always grounded me:  journaling. My Lifeline: Journaling as a Spiritual Practice I haven’t just started journaling—I’ve journaled for years. But over time, my journaling has deepened. What started as a way to record my thoughts has evolved into a sacred space where I meet God daily. My journal is where I process, where I question, and where I receive. I wouldn't be where I am in my spiritual journey without it. Some days I write scriptures. Some days I write my fears. And sometimes— before I even finish writing the question—God gives me the answer. 🌧️  When the Clouds Roll In Stepping outside your comfort zone is uncomfortable— that’s literally the ...

🌱 We Need to Focus on God and the Solution—Instead of the Problem

Image
  🧩  When the Plumbing Breaks, So Does Our Perspective The other day, I noticed something strange: a gurgling noise in the shower. Then the toilet started bubbling. Next thing I knew, water was backing up and nothing was draining properly. My first reaction?  Frustration. That’s  my  bathroom. The one I use every day. I didn’t feel like dealing with problems, messes, or backup. I skipped my exercise, felt irritated, and let the situation throw off my day. And honestly? I stewed in my frustration. Then after letting it derail me, it hit me: Girl, you have another bathroom. So what—you had to use another bathroom? People have real problems and you’re complaining because you had to use another bathroom  in your house? Right then I knew: I needed to be  thankful  that I even had another bathroom to use. You see—I  already knew  that God has provided a solution to every problem I’ll ever have. But in that moment, I chose to focus on the prob...
