With the release of the movie, \u201cWicked: For Good,\u201d conversations about goodness, darkness, and the blurry line between them are circulating again. Anytime a new buzz word and phrases start to pop up, it\u2019s a perfect moment for Christians, especially women seeking to live faithfully in their generation, to pause and ask: Do we understand goodness the way God defines it? Because the truth is, most of us absorb our ideas of \u201cgood\u201d without ever examining them. Culture catechizes us subtly through storylines, lyrics, and characters, often convincing us that goodness is something found within or achieved by our own efforts. Without intentionally looking to Scripture and remembering what we are actually working toward, we can easily end up pursuing the wrong thing. So what is biblical goodness? And why does it matter for the way we live, love, and serve today in our homes, workplaces, and communities?"}
