In the final episode of our Mufasa: The Lion King series, we close with (T) A Touch of The Word—drawing rich theological connections between the film and Scripture. We explore how Mufasa’s growth and Taka’s downfall reflect biblical patterns of wisdom, temptation, and redemption. Proverbs 13:20 sheds light on the influence of community, as Mufasa learns from the wise while Taka falls in with the fearful. Taka’s betrayal echoes Peter’s denial of Jesus, revealing how fear and envy can twist loyalty. And Rafiki—first seen as a spiritual outcast—mirrors the rejected prophets of the Old Testament who speak truth despite being ignored. Join us as we uncover how this royal origin story mirrors deeper truths from the Word.

In Part 2 of our Mufasa: The Lion King series, we explore the film through (A) Audience and (R) Rethink. We affirm that this story is well-suited for families, friends, and even as a bridge for evangelistic conversations—but this episode doesn’t stop at surface-level insights. Our Rethink dives deeper into the film’s more provocative themes. We also examine Rafiki’s role as an exiled spiritual figure, asking what his treatment says about society’s view of prophetic voices. Finally, we unpack the destructive power of deception in Taka’s arc, leading to a key reflection: lies demand protection, but truth calls to be shared.

In this first episode of our Mufasa: The Lion King series, we explore the film through the lens of (S) Summary and (M) Message. Told by Rafiki to Kiara, the film recounts Mufasa’s unlikely rise from orphaned cub to courageous king. Along the way, we meet key figures like Taka, Sarabi, and Zazu, and witness the choices that shape their destinies. We reflect on the film’s central message—that true kingship is defined by character, not birthright—and examine where the story soars and where it stumbles. Does Mufasa’s near-perfection inspire greatness, or leave something missing? Join us as we unpack the moral heart of this royal origin tale.
