The Gospel & Truth and Lies in KPop Demon Hunters

Also: What is Christian Forgiveness? And the character missing from The Gilded Age.If you are a parent, you have definitely heard of it by now. If you are not a parent, you have definitely heard of it by now. KPOP Demon Hunters is the most popular Netflix film of all time with 236 million views. Unreal. My kids watched it at a friend’s house over the summer, and of course, I didn’t like the idea of them watching something about demons. But, the more I heard about it, and the more the songs haunted me in my dreams, the more I felt I needed to watch it and so I did. I must admit, that as far as children’s media goes, I liked it. It’s not a Christian movie, and it certainly wasn’t created by people with a Christian world view, but the plot points are an excellent spring board for us to reflect on our own understanding of evil, and to talk to our kids about what in the film aligns with Christianity and what doesn't.So, dive into the world of KPOP with me today, because yes, even thought I am no fan of Asian animation whatsoever, the Gospel exist even here and if we pay attention, we can learn something. Also in this episode, Erika Kirk forgave Charlie Kirk’s murder in front of 200 thousand people and 100 million streamers. It was unspeakably beautiful. But what exactly is Christian forgiveness, and how can we be better about forgiveness in our own lives?Whether you saw KPOP Demon Hunters or not, I promise you will get something out of this episode. If you want to dive into my other work you can purchase my book Rekindled, or one of my Bible Studies.Also, if you need a refresher on the Gospel message, check out the first episode of this podcast.Did this episode speak to you?
