“Follow your heart.” “Dream big.” “You can be anything you want to be.” — Parenting on the Frontlines

“Follow your heart.” “Dream big.” “You can be anything you want to be.”

These messages are everywhere—but where did they come from, and what happens when our children are taught to make their feelings the ultimate authority?

In this episode of Parenting on the Front Lines, we take a closer look at Disney's “When You Wish Upon a Star” and use the song as a starting point to explore Romanticism, postmodernism, subjective truth, and the biblical understanding of the human heart.

Stories don't simply entertain our children. They can shape the way they imagine the world—and eventually influence what they believe.

We'll explore why Scripture tells us to be careful about what influences our hearts and minds, and why Christians need to teach their children to distinguish between “my truth” and the objective truth found in God's Word.

We'll also discuss:

• Disney and the philosophy of Romanticism • “Follow your heart” versus biblical wisdom • How entertainment shapes children's worldview • Feelings versus objective truth • The heart as an “idol factory” • Why parents should discuss entertainment with their children • How to approach culture from a biblical worldview • Colossians 2:8 and the warning against deceptive philosophy

“Your word is truth.” — John 17:17

Join us as we continue tracing the philosophies that have shaped our culture—and learn how parents can equip their children to recognize those ideas and evaluate them through Scripture.
