92: Ted Turnau & Jared Moore | The Pop Culture Parent

www.graceenoughpodcast.com

Ted Turnau and Jared Moore join me to discuss how becoming familiar with pop culture and discussing it with our children actually helps them engage their world for Christ.

Questions Ted, Jared and I Discussed:

(5:14) What led you to write the pop culture parent?

(9:24) How do you define pop culture?

(10:41) Christians tend to avoid or forbid anything related to pop culture, whether it be R-rated movies or secular music, what are some of the dangers in taking that approach?

(12:18) Ted you've said, “Popular culture shapes imagination and inner worlds. It creates connections between them and their friends. They need parents to help them see how the gospel shines in contrast to what the world offers. They need training in discernment and wisdom as ambassadors of Christ to their friends. They need to learn the cultural language of the land to which God calls them: their own culture.” How can we go about engaging popular culture with our kids now to help them see the gospel in contrast to the world?

(22:40) For the parent of a toddler or early elementary child that may be listening, provide an example of how they can engage their child in their interests now to begin laying a foundation for more spiritual conversations later?

(33:34) Will you walk us through the 5 Simple Questions to ask about popular culture? 

(41:21) What final encouragement do you have for parents?

Quotes to Remember:
"Popular culture is not the equivalent to bad culture, which is what a lot of Christians take it to mean." -Ted

"This is a popular culture world that we live in. Do we want to train our children to live in this world? Or do we want to train them to live in a world that doesn't exist? You can't evangelize in that world that doesn't exist. We live in this world and so let us train our children to be in this popular cultural world but not of it."

-Jared
