Didaché - King of Kings: Go and See or Turn and Flee?

Families are flocking to see King of Kings, a new animated film portraying the life of Jesus. But is it faithful to Scripture, or subtly dangerous? In this episode of Didaché, Justin Peters is joined by Pastor Gabe Hughes to examine the theology behind the movie, produced by Mormon-owned Angel Studios. Despite the film’s high production value and rave reviews, Gabe reveals how it distorts key biblical truths, downplays sin, and presents a version of Jesus acceptable to virtually every faith, including those that reject His deity.

From watered-down gospel language to the complete absence of God's wrath, judgment, and substitutionary atonement, this film offers a Christ that is not the Jesus of Scripture. With careful attention to detail, Justin and Gabe walk through specific examples from the movie, demonstrating why Christian families should think twice before embracing King of Kings as a tool for truth.

Listen to this episode before you buy a ticket—and learn why biblical fidelity matters more than box office success.

About the Podcast

Didaché
Didaché is dedicated to deepening our love for God through deepening our knowledge of God.
Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).

This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will dedicate some time to answering your questions that you send in. This podcast will not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the others, but what it lacks in sound effects we trust will be made up in content.

Justin Peters is a full-time itinerant preacher dedicated to expository preaching and biblically engaging many of the prevalent false doctrines that seek to "deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting" (Romans 16:17). He has earned both a Master of Divinity (2000) and Master of Theology (2002) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has preached in churches and conferences in 43 states and 27 countries. He and his wife, Kathy, live in Bozeman, MT, and are members of Grace Bible Church.
