I would have to say that October is one of my favorite months! Depending on where you live, this is when most of the foliage really starts changing colors, signifying the end of the summer season. It is a time for cooler weather, lattes, and pumpkin spice everything! And it is a time for Halloween fun!
For Christian bloggers, October and Halloween bring new opportunities to share the Good News with strangers. The entire month is filled with a variety of Halloween and Fall Harvest activities and events – places to meet new people and introduce them to Jesus. This is also a time when moms start searching the internet for Pumpkin-this and Halloween-that type content. No matter what specific niche you write in as a Christian blogger, October provides new opportunities for reaching people with God’s message. It also provides new opportunities to drive more organic traffic to your site. Here are 85+ October blog post ideas to get you started!

October Blog Post Ideas for Christian Bloggers
I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding the idea of whether Christian families should celebrate/participate in the Halloween festivities. Personally, I never understood why it was even a conversation! As Christians, we should seize every opportunity to share God’s message with others.
As I was getting ready to write this post, I had a thought. Imagine a world in which no single Christian participated in Halloween activities or events. So basically, these events would be full of nothing but lost people. Isn’t that where Jesus would have gone? He didn’t necessarily hang out with God-abiding Christians. He hung out with those who needed Him most!
So, for those who may see Halloween as a Pagan celebration – one that you avoid at all cost -, I would like to challenge you to try and view it as a way to bring more Jesus to your community! God calls us to share the Good News and it really isn’t news to those already saved!
