In this podcast, we dissect some of the themes presented in the Barbie movie that shed light on societal norms and the shifting roles within the family structure they perpetuate. We analyze the film’s portrayal of the destruction of the nuclear family and the downplaying of motherhood as well as look at how they leave life’s questions of dealing with one’s death unanswered. We discuss how the Bible has the answer to all of these issues. We make the connection between sacrificial leadership, servanthood, and the ideals of Christ’s relationship with the Church. We discuss the important role of women having different roles but being equal in value and allies to men, standing side by side with men in the battle against the forces of evil rather than being subservient or lesser than men. We discuss how men cannot function in the way God has commanded without women.
As we unravel the movie’s agenda of atomizing the family, we address the subtle strategies to weaken the family unit and its implications for the local church. We discuss how we need to refuse to play the power game and fight over power dynamics and instead strengthen the bonds of the nuclear family as a force for good. Finally, we discuss how the Gospel answers the question of how we should look at and deal with our death and offers hope in eternal life.
Thanks for joining us again on Project 224, where we apply the true wisdom of Christ to the world around us.
