Nothing like a bit of satanic panic to kick off the new year.


Pastors like Mark Driscoll and Daniel White are labeling the musical Wicked as “demonic” and accusing it of corrupting young minds. But here’s the irony—Wicked is all about challenging fear, prejudice, and black-and-white thinking.


In this video, I dive into their critiques and why they completely miss the mark. As a former fundamentalist, Wicked struck a personal chord with me. Its themes of questioning authority and redefining good and evil mirror real-life struggles within high-control religious communities.


I also explore how Wicked invites us to think critically about the labels we place on others and the motives of those in power. Maybe that’s why some pastors feel so uncomfortable with it—it hits a little too close to home.


Join me as I unpack the controversy, reflect on Wicked’s deeper meaning, and share why this misunderstood musical deserves more credit than it gets from its critics!
