Deep dives
Interpreting the He Gets Us Campaign
The He Gets Us commercial aims to provoke societal reflection on loving others despite differences by depicting various individuals washing each other's feet. It delves into the question 'Who is my neighbor?' based on John 13, emphasizing love, kindness, and respect. The commercial follows the R.O.A.R. method - Recognize the message, Offer discernment, Argue for a healthier approach, Reinforce with kids. It prompts discussions on how to love and serve others amid diverse beliefs. The commercial encourages thoughtful reflection on how to see beyond differences and emphasize humanity.
Challenges Present in the He Gets Us Campaign
The problematic aspects of the He Gets Us campaign include confusion between service and truth rejection, denial of objective truth like protecting the unborn or biblical teachings, refusal to denounce sin. It promotes idolizing feelings over truth and dismisses the importance of addressing falsehoods contextually. The campaign weakens the stance on objective truth and biblical teachings, focusing more on feelings and cultural alignment at the expense of foundational beliefs.
Navigating Truth Among Ideological Differences
Finding a balance in reflecting truth amidst ideological differences is crucial. Encouraging individuals to maintain authenticity without compromising truth is essential. Upholding truth in a Christ-like manner while facing opposition is highlighted. The importance of recognizing the difference between legitimate hate and expressing truth is emphasized. Navigating conversations rooted in truth requires discernment and grace to effectively communicate.
Recommendations on Engaging with Opposing Views
When engaging with differing perspectives, it is vital to approach discussions with mindfulness and patience. Understanding the context and intent of conversations aids in cultivating meaningful dialogues. Encouraging active listening, thoughtful responses, and emotional control enhances interactions. Upholding grace and truth in communication, despite potential pushback, contributes to fostering productive exchanges while standing firm in faith.
Hello, fellow Mama Bears! On this episode we are ROAR'ing through the latest He Gets Us commercial that aired during the Super Bowl at the beginning of this year. We want to take a careful look at what the message is and what it isn't. Our hope is to highlight the importance of sifting through the media we consume, even media that appears wholesome of biblical on the surface. We want to hold the message of the He Gets Us commercial against the scriptures to examine where it does or doesn't line up with what the Bible teaches.
We will do walk through each step of our ROAR method to discern what the appropriate steps are for engaging with that message and how to disciple our children accordingly. We're here to empower each other to raise discerning, wise, and loving families. So, let's sharpen our ability to recognize truth under the veneer of messages that surround us, and pass on this legacy of wisdom to our little ones.
