Episode 131. ROARing Through K-Pop Demon Hunters
Tuesday, 19 August, 2025
In this episode of the Mama Bear Apologetics podcast, Hillary, Amy and Alexa analyze the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters using their ROAR method: Recognize the message, Offer objective discernment, Argue for a healthier approach, and Reinforce through discussion, discipleship, and prayer. With the film gaining popularity among teens and younger audiences, they break down the worldview behind the catchy music, vibrant visuals, and overarching narrative. They highlight both accurate portrayals of spiritual warfare and problematic messages such as redefining sin, the role and reality of the demonic and fighting shame with pride...which is counter to the Gospel. There are loads of theological issues with the film, but that's to be expected. More importantly there is a very subversive undertone that could entice your children into downplaying the danger of or even inviting the demonic into their lives.Main Points CoveredRefresher on the ROAR methodSummary and cultural context of K-Pop Demon HuntersShamanistic influences in the film's narrativeThe spiritual battle theme and accurate depictions of demonic manipulationAnalysis of the "Your Idol" song and its theological implicationsPositive and problematic messages about shame, identity, and salvationTeaching discernment to children using mediaParenting strategies for spiritual conversationsResources & Organizations MentionedScriptures:Genesis 3 (The Fall and origin of sin)Romans 8:1 (No condemnation for those in Christ)2 Corinthians 10:5 (Taking thoughts captive)Ephesians 6 (Spiritual armor)Other Resources:Hollywood Heroes Podcast with Frank Turek: Part 1 | Part 2Rise of the Occult with Krista BontragerSpiritual Warfare by Karl PayneOur SponsorsVoetberg Music Academy: When planning your school year this year, one thing you don’t have to worry about is taking your kids to music lessons.
