The OneFamily Podcast
Families connected to the US Foster Care system face many challenges. Vulnerable and at-risk families need continued support to rise above their situation and raise their children in a healthy way. Foster and adoptive families also need support to help them do what God calls them to do. Relative caregivers must be supported as they step into the role of caring for their grandchildren. This support provides stability for these families who are on the frontlines.
OneFamily's mission is to engage, equip, and empower bio families, foster families, adoptive families, and relative caregivers through wholehearted community support. Because when the community supports its families, the families within that community flourish.

Episode 32 | Making Holidays Holy Again | Part 1
In this powerful episode of The OneFamily Podcast, Stephen Hogue kicks off a brand-new series called “Making Holidays Holy Again.” The word “holiday” actually means “holy day”—and today, Stephen takes a deep look at one of the most controversial of them all: Halloween.
What are the true origins of Halloween? How did it evolve from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain to the modern celebration we see today? And most importantly, should Christians participate in it—or avoid it altogether?
Stephen unpacks the spiritual roots, biblical warnings, and cultural shifts behind Halloween, exploring what Scripture says about darkness, witchcraft, and the subtle compromises that can enter our homes and hearts. You’ll also hear how the Hogue family has chosen to “counteract the darkness with light” through worship and family devotion—and how you can prayerfully discern what’s right for your own household.
This episode challenges us to seek holiness over hype and reminds us that every day—even the darkest night—belongs to the Lord.
