Why Is Witchcraft Everywhere in Entertainment? | Adam Holtz of Plugged In

Why does witchcraft keep showing up in movies and television—and how should Christian parents respond?

Adam Holz from Plugged In joins Steve Marston to look at the latest movies, streaming trends and entertainment headlines from a Christian perspective. This week, Steve and Adam discuss the growing presence of witches, warlocks and supernatural themes in entertainment, including Disney’s Coven Academy, and why these themes deserve thoughtful conversations with our kids.

They also review Daniel and the Fiery Furnace, a new biblical film telling the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Adam explains how the movie handles the biblical account, where it fills in details beyond Scripture, and why watching biblical movies together can create a great opportunity for families to open the Bible and compare what they watched with what Scripture actually says.

Plus, Steve and Adam take a look at Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom and preview several upcoming family-oriented fall releases.

In this conversation:
• Daniel and the Fiery Furnace
• Using biblical movies to start family Bible discussions
• Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
• Disney’s Coven Academy
• Witchcraft and supernatural themes in entertainment
• How Christian parents can talk with their kids about what they watch
