Foundation with Steve Teed S3Ep19: Are We Making Jesus More Palatable?
In this episode, we look at the answer to the question of what happens when we try to make Jesus more palatable for the general masses. What happens when we remove the parts that people find offensive? Do we still have the gospel or do we have something else?
We will start to answer this question by looking at a survey that shows how preteens are fairing regarding having a Biblical worldview. The surprise is not with the preteens or their parents, but rather with the ones who are supposed to be the teachers.
In the second segment we will be visiting a Super Bowl commercial that has gotten quite a few Christians talking and take a look at what it means, what did the authors want to portray, and whether it succeeds. Is there something missing in their message and as an organization?
(Edit here in this segment: From looking at the photos they appeared to be A.I. created and I refer to them as such, but in fact, they are real photographs by fine-art photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten who uses a very cinematic style. Really that makes this even worse in what was selected.)
We close the episode with our "Apostasy of the Week award as we head to Sunshine Cathedral in Ft Lauderdale Florida.
