We discuss the movies we love and why we love them. We discover what these modern parables say about who we were created to be. Our hearts reveal a roadmap to our design, and the movies that resonate most are worthy of examination to identify the truth about the men our world needs, the men God designed us to become. Join us as we discover the God’s truth in the movies we love.

Captain Kirk doesn’t believe in the no-win scenario—but life doesn’t play by cheat codes forever. In The Wrath of Khan: When the Cheat Codes Stop Working, Paul McDonald explores what happens when control slips away, wounds resurface, and every path forward looks like loss.

Kirk’s arrogance and Khan’s bitterness reveal two ways men try to avoid pain: one by rewriting the rules, the other by feeding resentment. Both end in destruction. The real test is learning how to face death, grief, and failure without losing your soul.

This episode dives into faith, courage, and transformation—the moment when every man must face his own Kobayashi Maru.
