I was recently watching Iggy and Mr. Kirk, a series I’ve really enjoyed. In one episode, Mr. Kirk reads from the Brave Books series. While watching, I noticed something troubling: there’s a place on Freedom Island called Wizard’s Way, and by the end of the book, a wizard appears in the story.
Some people might say, “It’s just an imaginary world.” But for me, having a wizard—or a witch—portrayed as a good character goes against my Christian beliefs.
I don’t watch many Disney movies because magic is often portrayed as something good. In stories like Harry Potter, children are shown learning witchcraft. I don’t believe any Christian should have those books or movies in their homes.
This whole situation makes me so sad. I genuinely love Iggy and Mr. Kirk. But I don’t want to support anything that promotes evil as good.
If the wizard in Brave Books had been shown as a villain, I would have understood. That could help teach children to recognize good versus evil. But instead, he’s shown as a good guy—possibly even connected to the power of Freedom Island.
That’s not okay.
Wizards Don’t Belong in Christian Stories
I know some people might say, “It’s just fantasy—it’s an imaginative world meant for fun.” But to me, and to many Bible-believing Christians, it’s harmful when wizards or witches are portrayed as heroes.
The Bible is clear about how God feels about sorcery and those who practice it:
“There shall not be found among you any one… that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard…”
— Deuteronomy 18:10–11, KJB
These are not just neutral fantasy figures. In Scripture, they are connected to real spiritual darkness and are strictly forbidden. 🚫
Some may say I’m being too strict—but if standing firm helps keep even one soul out of hell, then I’ll gladly keep being “strict.”
