Joel Osteen’s ‘Mary’ Movie Gets the Gospel Wrong | Ep 1112

Today, we're discussing the sad news of a shooting at a Christian school in California, where two kindergartners were injured but are in stable condition now, praise God. And in a strange turn, it seems as though the shooter targeted the school as revenge for the violence in Gaza? Of course, the mainstream media largely ignored this story, to absolutely nobody's surprise. We also cover the tragic death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the bizarre social media trend of sexualizing the alleged shooter. Finally, we talk about the awful new "Mary" film on Netflix and its fundamental misunderstandings of the gospel. But perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised by that; after all, prosperity gospel preacher Joel Osteen is the film's executive producer.

I live in California (a couple of hours away, near Sacramento), and I hadn't heard about the news involving those kindergarten boys until now! I'm so thankful to hear they survived—thank God . This story is truly heartbreaking. My husband and I have two young boys, ages 4 (almost 5) and 6, so this really hits close to home. Sending heartfelt prayers for those precious boys and their family, as well as for their classmates and the school staff. 🙏

Thank God those two boys are alive! May they recover fully physically and emotionally.

After watching this movie "Mary"...I'm not sure that Joel Olsteen has ever read the Bible

[THORO]

Please never EVER stop speaking so boldly of your faith, the Bible and Jesus. ❤ I love and appreciate you so much

[salberthal]

Catholic here, and we were urged NOT to watch the film as it contradicts Catholic teaching.

Allie - I wish Christian film makers would make a film about George Muller and the orphan houses he began in 1800's England. He never asked for money for the orphan houses but brought EVERY need to the Lord in prayer and EVERY need was met. I encourage everyone to read his autobiography. This is the kind of faith needed today in the church.

Missing cultural context and adding what isn't found in the Bible is A dangerous game.

I am a member of the SDA church, currently in California right now, and only heard this story briefly mentioned at church this weekend. Thank you for your unbiased coverage, and your prayers!

Stopped watching the movie in the first 3 minutes. Felt demonic!

[pamelacollins]

It’s no surprise Joel Osteen got the gospel wrong. Sadly he does not seem to know the true gospel.

[salt_and_light]

That shooting was in my community. Thank you for addressing and please continue praying for these innocent children and their families. God bless you all 🙏🏽🤍

I didn’t know the Mary movie was from Joel Osteen. I knew it was way off but told my husband it was just another wrong movie from Hollywood. No wonder it was off! Joel Osteen doesn’t know about the Bible indeed! He is so misguided.

I watched that televangelist weirdo on 60 Minutes many years ago. The interviewer, I forget which one, asked why he didn't have the cross in his church? He had some mealy-mouthed answer about not wanting to offend anyone. Snakes will tell you who they are. You just have to believe them.

Islam wasn’t even invented until 600 years after Christ. The ignorance of these pro-Palestinian haters is truly shocking.

[squeaksohko]

Shocker! Joel Osteen is wrong about what he teaches?

[reetayoung]

I started watching Mary & stopped because it wasn't biblical

[md]

The Mary movie was an abomination from start to finish. The only reason I kept watching was morbid curiosity to see what crazy thing was going to happen next. It’s like they took multiple Bible stories from the Old & New Testaments, added some fictional stuff that never happened and put that all in a blender and mixed it up and dumped it out in movie form. It was completely ridiculous. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[christophermason]

Jesus Christ definitely is not an effeminate savior whereas he’s supposedly lovable adorable never judges anyone. He DOES JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY!!

[shannonnichols]

This takes away one of my favorite things about Mary…her role as wife and mother & also Joseph’s role as husband to a young woman he’s betrothed to (I studied this & found the betrothal at the time meant basically to be married for one year but not consummated.) If anyone else has studied to find out differently, please let me know!
My point is, think about being 14 & telling the world you’re pregnant but you haven’t had sex! Even people who love us are still going to be thrown by this! And she had to be a bit nervous to wonder what Joseph would think, even just right at first!😮

ALLEGED assassin. Let's not forget about our legal system where we are all innocent UNTIL PROVEN guilty. Thank you for your wonderful content.
