Episode notes
Avoid "Ask Jesus into Heart" Phrase
- Avoid telling kids to "ask Jesus into their heart" since it's confusing and metaphorically weak for literal thinking children.
- Instead, teach children about following Jesus as their King and teacher, which offers clearer understanding.
Christian Video Game Guidance
- Christian video game developers should avoid creating content that promotes evil as good or vice versa.
- Strive to produce media that reflects new creation dynamics like nurturing and building, avoiding harm and glorification of violence.
Navigating God’s Pronouns Thoughtfully
- Use male pronouns for God with care, understanding their biblical origin and the cultural baggage they carry.
- Avoid unnecessary offense but recognize that language limitations can highlight God's otherness and mystery.
