About this listen

This three-part podcast series offers a comprehensive analysis of the 1994 animated classic, The Lion King, using our signature "SMART" framework: Summary, Message, Audience, Rethink, and a Touch of The Word. What begins as a nostalgic look at a beloved film evolves into a deep discussion on identity, responsibility, and faith.

In the final installment of our Lion King series, we draw theological connections that reveal how the film’s core themes align with biblical truths. We explore the value of parental wisdom and discipline, linking Mufasa’s guidance and Simba’s growth to passages like Proverbs 1 and Hebrews 12. We also examine the film’s portrayal of family and social order through the lens of Ephesians 6, emphasizing the importance of honoring authority and community roles. Finally, we reflect on how Simba’s victory and the restoration of the Pride Lands echo Proverbs 3’s promise that the upright will ultimately find favor. This episode highlights how The Lion King can serve as a powerful lens for understanding key elements of the Christian faith.
