What Rumpelstiltskin Taught Me About Debt

In this episode, we explore the story of Rumpelstiltskin and what it reveals about debt, inherited expectation, and generational cycles. We look at how the miller's lie plunges his daughter into an impossible bargain, why the imp's final price is always a child, and how discovering his true name breaks the cycle. We also trace the story's roots into Bronze Age mythology and the ancient belief in true names, and draw the connection to how Scripture treats naming as a form of transformation.Part of our series at Story Chapel, a Sunday morning gathering in Cincinnati exploring fairy tales, fantasy, and mythology through the lens of the Gospel.Website: www.storychapelcincy.comEmail [email protected] for location details
