Reel Parables

Hollywood often gets a bad wrap when it intersects with Christianity, but there can be lot of deep theological illustrations that can be taken from many movies. It is the goal of this podcast to look at relatively family friendly movies with the goal of finding spiritual elements. In other words, we will use popular movies as modern day parables that communicate timeless truths about God, faith and what it means to be a follower of Christ.
