Summer Rewind: Linguistic Theft - What it is and Why it Matters
About this episode
Hillary and Amy discuss linguistic theft and its impact on biblical concepts in modern culture.
As part of our Summer Rewind Series, Hillary and Amy revisit the concept of linguistic theft —the intentional redefining of familiar words and virtues to persuade people to accept ideas they might otherwise reject. They argue that while Christians often teach biblical truths and virtues, today's culture increasingly redefines words like love, justice, equality, violence, and tolerance , making it difficult for believers—especially children—to recognize when biblical concepts have been replaced with counterfeit meanings. Using 2 Corinthians 11 , they explain that Satan often works through deception rather than obvious evil, disguising false ideas as righteousness. The hosts distinguish between the natural evolution of language and intentional linguistic manipulation, outlining a three-step process they believe is commonly used to shift public opinion.
