Episode 122. 5 Biblical Interpretation Questions Every Mama Bear Should Know! 24:48

10 päivää sitten24:48

24:48

Hey Mama bears (and Papa Bears too!), let’s talk about something super important—how we read the Bible. It’s not just about opening the pages and hoping for a divine light bulb moment. Nope! If we’re not careful, we can end up twisting Scripture to say what we want it to say instead of what God actually meant.That’s why we’re diving into biblical interpretation—what it is, why it matters, and how it impacts both our faith and our kids’. We’re navigating the difference between Exegesis (drawing out what Scripture actually says) and Eisegesis (reading our own ideas into Scripture). The truth is, we all have biases, and if we don’t recognize them, we might end up just looking for verses to back up what we already believe instead of letting God shape our beliefs in the first place. And let’s be real—sometimes we get stuck in our own echo chambers. That’s why we need honest, truth-loving friends who challenge us to see Scripture clearly, even when it’s uncomfortable. (Yes, that means being open to correction.) We’ll also unpack how to find theological principles in Scripture and apply them to life today—because let’s face it, human nature hasn’t changed much since biblical times. The same struggles, the same need for God. Our goal? To teach our kids how to read the Bible wisely, grounding their faith in truth, not trends. So grab your coffee, cozy up, and join us as we chat about how biblical interpretation can shape not only our personal faith but also the next generation. Because if we don’t teach them how to handle Scripture rightly, the world will be more than happy to teach them how to do it wrong. Let’s get equipped, Mama Bears! Main Points Covered Exegesis vs Eisegesis How does what’s being said relate to the original audience? What are the differences between the original audience and us? What is the theological principle within the text? How does this principle fit within the rest of the Bible? How should christians today live out this principle? What if we disagree?

Have you ever faced the heart-wrenching challenge of having your child walk away from their faith? On this episode, Mary Comm joins us to share her profound journey of learning to love and relate to her adult prodigal child. With authenticity and vulnerability, Mary opens up about her own past as a prodigal, shedding light on the nuanced differences between genuine estrangement and simple familial disagreements. This episode promises a wealth of guidance for parents navigating these emotionally charged waters, especially within the Christian community. We discuss the spiritual battles faced by families, drawing wisdom from biblical stories like the prodigal son and Job. We examine how these challenges can test not only the faith of children but also of parents, particularly those serving in ministry. Feelings of shame and guilt often accompany these experiences, isolating parents and making them question their roles. By fostering openness and honesty within church communities, we hope to dismantle these barriers, providing a safe space for mutual support and healing. Our conversation also touches on the importance of setting healthy boundaries and maintaining love and compassion amidst differences. Through Mary's wisdom, we emphasize the vital role of prayer and resilience in parenting. Whether it's through modeling authentic faith or utilizing support systems like Uncommon Love Ministries , we aim to reassure parents that their role and ministry are never truly over.

This episode of Mama Bear Apologetics takes you on a journey through the creative landscape of the new Netflix movie "Mary," directed by D.J. Caruso. Drawing inspiration from the pseudo-evangelical book of James, we dissect how this film reimagines the Christmas story, providing parents with guidance on navigating its differences from biblical accounts. Our goal is to equip you with the insights needed to foster meaningful conversations with your kids about faith, scripture, and the importance of historical and theological contexts. We consider the creative liberties taken by the filmmakers and how these narrative choices can serve as conversation starters with our kids about faith and scripture. By comparing these portrayals to traditional biblical texts, we invite families to appreciate the strength and courage of Mary and Joseph's story, often overlooked in Protestant narratives, and reflect on the film's helpful and harmful perspectives. As the Christmas season unfolds, let's consider how to engage your children in Christ-centered conversations that rise above the holiday hustle and bustle. Main Points Covered Summary of Netflix's Mary What is the message of the film Good and problematic elements of the film How to help kids discern the message How to reinforce the true message found in scripture Unfamiliar Vocabulary Pseudo-evangelical : The book claims to be written by the brother of Jesus, but in fact is not.
