  • Summary

  • Wanting to come closer to Christ? Do you wish you could learn gospel principles while also enjoying your favorite movies? In this podcast we will be discussing eternal truths that we can find in modern tv and film. My mission is to help you not only see God in the scriptures and Sunday school, but in places we don’t expect--like during family movie night! If you’re ready to change your focus and start seeing Christ in The Lion King, Harry Potter, and Bluey, then you’re in the right place! Hey, I’m Valerie! I’m a wife, mother, follower of Christ, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I grew up loving movies and books about princesses, superheroes, animals, and dinosaurs. Stories are a powerful way to learn lessons, and now as an adult I’ve enjoyed looking for analogies in my favorite films. It was while rewatching the animated classics with my kids that I realized there were so many eternal truths and principles being taught, if only I’d look for them. They really are everywhere! And now I want to share them with you! If you’re ready to have uplifting, spiritual conversations about The Sound of Music or Hercules with your new BFF as you do your laundry or dinner prep... Then this podcast is for you! Grab some popcorn and your favorite drink, sister, the show is about to start. Let’s go!

    40 - THE PRINCE OF EGYPT: The Story of PASSOVER to Help Christian Families Better Celebrate EASTER
    Apr 10 2025

    Why don't Christians celebrate Passover?

    Are there actually lessons we can still apply to us TODAY?

    In today's episode we discuss the beloved 1998 Dreamworks movie THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, which tells of the story of Moses from the Book of Exodus.

    If you are searching for uplifting media or lessons for Christian families relating to remembering God's deliverance, His Atonement, the Passover, Easter, or the Sacrament, then you've come to the right place!

    For all my faith-filled, media lovers (especially my Dreamworks fans!) this is one you won't want to miss!

    Talk to you in the episode!

    ***NOTE: In this episode, I refer to the final plague as the "destroying angel". However, in the movie and Exodus it is called the "Death Angel" or "Destroyer".
