I've celebrated a couple Biblical festivals, but I'm largely unfamiliar with the whens, hows, and whys. Listen if you'd like to familiarize yourself. voluntarytheocracy.org

PARENTS USE DISCRETION When my dad used to teach 6th grade, he decided to teach about the reasons for taboos and curse words from a Biblical view. Students and their parents continued to remember this lesson for years after, and it's not something I hear addressed by anyone else. We talk about which words aren't as taboo as they should be, vice versa, and why. voluntarytheocracy.org

This movie probably holds the top spot in pop culture as a reference point for what God's law means regarding public stoning. While it's a good film to bring attention to oppressed women around the globe, here's why it's a poor example of Biblical stoning. voluntarytheocracy.org

If you're in the film/TV production space at all, or even if you just really like movies or novels, even just the news, I think you'll find this to be a fun conversation because of how much of an underpinning story is to theology and how we understand it. It is the primary way God communicates to us in Scripture after all. We get into presuppositionalism near the end and how people arrive at their positions of faith. I think story is an excellent tool in any storyteller's or theologian's belt.
