Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yo, what's going on everybody? How y'all doing out there?
This is your boy Jared Lewis aka King J. Lou
aka King J Lewis, and I want to welcome you
to another power session right here on the Kingly Discussions
podcast where Kingdom meets culture and faith. Ain't just talked about?
(00:39):
Is lift out now? Today's episode is entitled The Death
of the Hero When Hollywood Hijacks the Mental? The Death
of the Hero When Hollywood Hijacks the Mental. Yeah, we're
going there, I said it, Yeah, We're going there. This
(00:59):
one right here, this is for all my marble heads.
Oh yeah, yeah. This was for all my marble heads,
all my storytellers, and all of my Kingdom builders and
anybody who's ever felt like the heroles, the heroes they
grew up with admiring, have been well tampered with. So
(01:25):
let's talk about it. What happened? How did we get
from where we were to where we are right now?
How did we go from the sacrifice and honor to
sarcasm and midlife crisis capes? And what does all this
(01:50):
have to do with your walk and your calling and
the stories shaping your life? Y'all? Ready, let's get into it.
Let's go ahead and put this on the table. He
rose are a kingdom concept. He rose are a kingdom concept.
(02:16):
The world didn't invent valor, all right. The world didn't
invent sacrifice, and the world didn't invent calling. You know
who did God did. Just look at it. David annoyed, overlooked,
(02:41):
and chosen to slay giants, esther placed in royalty for
such a time as this. Jesus the Savior who laid
down his divinity to walk in our dirt. These wordsn't Jesus.
These weren't just good guys. They were kingdom heroes. They
(03:08):
moved with purpose, power, and humility. Greater love have no
man than this. That a man laid down his life
for his friends. That's John fifteen thirteen. But that's also
(03:29):
the blueprint. It's not just about the vibe. It's not
all about the action scenes. Being a hero is about
purpose and sacrifice. Now, let's get into this media stuff. Hollywood,
(03:54):
I believe took the image of the hero of what
we know to be a superhero, but left behind the
weight of the mantle. They repackaged it, sprinkle some glitter
on it, made it quirky, relatable and then washed it down.
(04:22):
And Marvel, as much as I love it, we have
seen the shift of them. Following Hollywood, Thor went from
a god of Thunder to a punchline with a beer belly.
(04:44):
I mean, let's just talk about this thing. And Thor Ragnarok,
I mean Thor inside of Avengers Infinity war fully redemptive law,
his lost his uh, his brother Loki for real, for
(05:05):
real that time, and his sister broke his hammer Milner,
so he has no purpose and he's trying to find it,
and he gets all of that. All of that comes
back to Wakanda in the midst of the Battle for
Earth redeems himself and then Thor Ragnarok, no, not thorw
(05:29):
in Thor Love and Thunder, and in in game we
get a whole totally different kind of Thor. Iron Man
died a savior and in game, but now his legacy
is being rewritten through corporate lenses. With all these with
(05:52):
all these little Marvel series shows, the narrative isn't about
truth anymore. It's about what's trending. Watch this for the
time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, they will turn their
(06:19):
ears away from the truth and be turned aside to myths.
Tewod Timothy four three through four. Myths aren't just about fiction.
It's about misdirection. Its media dressing up confusion and calling
(06:45):
it self identification. It's cultural rewriting courage without the cost.
It's an atrocity, and it's rewriting the script of what
it means to be a hero. Now you must be
(07:08):
thinking this. I know y'all probably think I'm crazy by now,
but that's okay. I'm all right. I'm cooking over here.
I'm cooking over here. I know I'm cooking. So you're
probably thinking, bru, it's just movies. It's just the comics. Man,
it's just superheroes. It's make believe. But nah, entertainment educates
(07:35):
it disciples. If you're not careful. That's why I'm taking
this seriously. If the only stories you are consuming portray
heroes as insecure, exhausted, or irrelevant, you start thinking you
(07:57):
don't have to carry on purpose either. But git me out,
but git me out. We are all heroes in the making.
Your story matters, your sacrifice matters, and your discipline matters
(08:18):
as well. Check this out. Do not be conformed to
the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Stay woke. Yeah, I know there's
a lot of people talking about, Oh you don't, don't
(08:38):
be acting all wo No, stay woke, be transformed Romans
twelve and two. Part of that renewing your mind is
checking what's feeding it. What are you really tuned into,
what are you really plugged into, What do you tap into?
(08:59):
Is it fueling you're calling or feeding your confusion? All right,
So look at him, Kevin Figrey said, him's world is
still in his prime. Right. So when someone's still in
that prime, that means they're, you know, in the midst
(09:20):
of their their good years. That's symbolic because guess what
you are too. Marvel may have may have lost its
grip on the hero's heart, but you haven't. You still
(09:40):
got time to step into your purpose, You still have
time to step into your identity, and you still have
time to wear your mental for real, for real, whether
you're parent a good parent, whether you're a pastor a minister,
(10:09):
whether you're creative or not creative, whether you're a teacher, activist, politician,
whether you're a student, teacher principle. Your story isn't over,
and your hero art ain't done yet. He has shown you,
(10:31):
old man, what is good? And what does the Lord
require of you? To do justice, love mercy, and walk
umley before your God. That's the code of the hero.
That's what it means to be a hero. That's the
only requirement that God has given us to live by
(10:54):
in this whole world. What has the Lord asked for
you to do? And it's right here in Michael six
and eight, and we miss it the all time. He
has shown you, old man, what is good and what
does the Lord require of you to do? That's the
(11:19):
cold This is what Disney has failed in. This is
what Marvel is failing in. And this is what DC
and everybody else who's infiltrating and trying to rewrite the
(11:45):
script of the hero of the superhero, because this is
the code. What more does the Lord require of you?
To do justice, to love mercy, and walk humbly with
your God. That's the hero code. That's what Jesus did.
(12:11):
That's what he did. He did justice, he loved mercy,
and every step of the way he walked umbly with God.
That's the real hero. Code. And that didn't come from Marvel.
(12:32):
That didn't come from Disney, that didn't come from DC.
It didn't come from Star Wars. It ain't come from
Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It didn't come from
Lord of the Rings where Gandalf. It didn't come from
were wolves and vampires. It came straight from the Divine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(12:58):
that's tough, ain't it. I know? No, Let that Barrid
ain't on you real quick. That's the whole meaning of
the superhero, to do justice, the love, mercy, and walk
humbly with your God. So here's what your mission is
this week. This is what your mission is. Your first
(13:24):
task as a superhero, as a hero. This is what
your mission is. Listen all the superheroes and heroes you
admire and reevaluate which ones matter. Recommit to the mantle,
(13:50):
to the calling that God has given you. Remember your
calling ain't for comfort, it's for kingdom impact. And if
this episode stirs something in you, I need you to
(14:11):
do two things. Share with someone who's been sleeping on
their untapped potential, their own potential. And number two, tag
me and your and tell me you know who your
favorite Kingdom hero is Bible or Marble or both, it
don't matter. Let's talk about it and until the next time,
(14:34):
this is your boy, King J. Lou aka King J.
Lewis or better known as Jared Lewis reminding you the
Kingdom ain't dead and neither is the hero. Stay strong,
stay royal, and stay on the mission and always remember
(14:57):
to be the best Kingdom citizen that you can be
and exercise your right as a Kingdom citizen. God bless
I love you. Catching the next one pace
