Being There With Media Stories posted on June 12, 2009
Today’s new podcast gives us more support in understanding how to live into a media culture, faithfully. Dr. Mary Hess shares how it is possible to incorporate faith stories into the popular culture and media that are so attractive to children. Imagine helping the children learn stories of patience, justice and other faith centered character learnings by watching Dora, Clifford, or even Hannah. Dr. Hess suggests, we work with it!
Think about who is telling the stories of our times? These are the days of our lives - what will be remembered? As your family spends casual time together, how might the conversation reveal what the children are seeing and hearing with media usage? How can you use media to make sure the children hear the stories of your faith? 
Big Tip
We must be intentional about telling the stories of our faith so they are not forgotten. Can you speak faith stories outside of and in addition to worship or religious study times? Can you work in a few words of faith to relate pop culture to the God of creation?
Music
Thinking of songs on CGR that help to tell the stories of faith include: Elizabeth Mitchell’s, Peace Like A River, where this simple song relates the notion of God’s peace to the natural world in which we all live. And, Tom Chapin’s, Stone Soup, where the whole community welcomes the stranger who says soup can be made from a stone (as they all come forward to add just one thing to the pot). We can hear welcoming the stranger, sharing the bounty and feeding the lambs - all faith stories shared in this simple story-song. Enjoy!
with blessings and thanks for the common good,
