Popcorn Theology

This week, Richard was joined by Aaron White of Feelin' Film Podcast to discuss one of Aaron's favorite movies, Children of Men!

This week, Richard's good friend Dennis is filling in as David is still away on his vacation. We got to play Warcraft trivia and then discuss the movie casually and theologically. Topics include the effects of the film, the various images of Christ's work that are evident in the story, and setting up leaders we look up to as idols in our lives which will inevitably fail... And more! We hope this episode both blesses and encourages you!  Warcraft on IMDB Please visit out sponsors! MissionalWear - Awesome T-Shirts, Posters, and more...

This week Richard and David got to talk about the great 1971 Musical, 'Fiddler on the Roof'! Do your traditions line up with your Biblical convictions or oppose them? Do your traditions help to stabilize your faith in God and devotion to Him and others, or do they get in the way? This movie helps us take a long, hard look at our own personal traditions and ways of life and hopefully consider them objectively. Hope this blesses you all!

This week, we're joined by group member and resident law expert Eric Bryant as we discuss the Netflix Original Series, Making a Murderer.  We talk a bit about why justice ought to matter within the christian worldview and dig into some of the evidences presented in the series.
