Mama Bear Movie Minute: Devil Wears Prada 2
Show notes
In this Movie Minute episode, Alexa and Anja discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2 through a biblical worldview lens. They explore how the film raises questions about vocation, purpose, validation, fashion, ambition, and the cost of success. While appreciating the movie's nuanced characters and opportunities for meaningful conversations with teens, they also critique its moral relativism—particularly a scene that implies Jesus was merely another flawed human being. The hosts encourage listeners to help their children think critically about where they find their identity, how they view work, and how Christians can glorify God in any vocation.
