002: Is Disney Causing Our Kids to Walk Away from Christianity?
Thursday Aug 08, 2019
Thursday Aug 08, 2019
On this episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Chris talk about the magical world of Disney and a Christian's response to Disney. In the world today, one cannot go far without interacting with Disney, but because Disney does not always line up with Christian values, some Christians believe that Disney is completely evil and should be considered as such. On the flip side, many Christians have no problem with Disney and let their children view any movie that Disney releases. How should Christians respond to Disney? Let's talk about it.

"We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.” - Rick Warren (quote from the book The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for?)
