Episode 136: ROAR'ing Through the Concept of Ghosts (rebroadcast)

On this episode, we are revisiting the concept of ghosts. Every year around this time, we start to see more depictions, decorations, and stories about ghosts —and your kids may be hearing more about them at school. But what are they? We will be examining the idea of ghosts using our ROAR method. What are they? What are the common misconceptions around ghosts and the supernatural? What does the bible say about ghosts and how are Christians supposed to engage this topic? Our hope is that you will be able to use the tools outlined in this episode to help the young ones in your care to be able to recognize the falsities in the messaging and be able to clearly defend their faith and protect their minds.

Main Points Covered

How does the world see ghosts?
What is a ghost truly?
How are we to interact with the truth and lies around “ghosts”?
How can we navigate elements of the spiritual realm with our kids?
