Should We Call Mary the Mother of God?

Why do so many Christians call Mary “the Mother of God”—and is that actually the clearest way to say what we believe? In this video, we take a careful, biblical look at the phrase Theotokos, its historical purpose, and whether it truly helps us understand who Jesus is or unintentionally creates confusion. By comparing how Scripture speaks about Mary and Christ with how theological language develops over time, we explore a deeper question: not just what is technically true, but what is actually clear and helpful. My goal isn’t to dismiss church history, but to help you think critically, biblically, and carefully about how we communicate the truth of the gospel. Let me know your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear how you’ve wrestled through this.
