Season 1 Episode 204
Today I'm joined by Bro. Matthew, and we're continuing a conversation we had while traveling.
We're talking about the balance between taking creative liberties and maintaining biblical accuracy.
In our Sunday school we try to bring Bible stories to life each Sunday through an interactive Bible theater experience. There is a necessary balance between creative expression that grabs kids’ attention and biblical accuracy.
When we add dialogue to biblical characters that Scripture doesn’t record their words, or when we imagine the thoughts and feelings of people like the unnamed servant girl who suggested Naaman visit Elisha, we enter a delicate balance. We don’t want to just entertain; we want kids to understand that Bible stories are fundamentally different from fairy tales. Our creative additions should illuminate rather than obscure biblical truths.
