Happy Halloween from Pop Culture Redemption! We are a podcast and ministry seeking to equip every follower of Jesus with the bold, passionate, divine authority that He has already given us!
In today's episode, Connor, Jacob, and Mallory dive into Disney-Pixar's movie, "Coco," learning where love wins when fear tries to take over. Love keeps us from "seizing the moment" when fear causes us to fight for what we think we need. Love breaks down walls when fear builds them up. Love keeps our eyes open to where God is at work in our ordinary lives.
Where do you see love in your life?

Get ready for a LOT of movie quotes because today, Connor and Jacob talk through Connor's all-time favorite movie: Space Jam!

In today's special episode, we look back on two years of episodes; two years of community; two years of learning how to see God at work in the world! And we invited others into the process! Over Zoom, we shared stories of the impact of the show with some of our dedicated listeners and then each of the PopCR team shared how they would redeem their favorite Disney Villain - how we can see the Gospel in the character most people would doom because of who they are (being the bad guys). If Jesus wouldn't let the least of us go unseen by His love, then neither should we! Let's dive in!

In today's episode, Connor, Jacob, and Mallory take a trip back to their younger years with 2003's "Freaky Friday" and watched a family, each stuck in their own grief of a husband and father who passed away, and dealing with the change of bringing in a new member of the family: Tess's fiancé (and new step-father) Ryan. In our conversation, the Lord showed us the power of love and empathy being the key out of many of the struggles in our lives that leave us stuck and numbing out to avoid the pain.
Are you wanting to reach the other side of numb and into the healing the Lord may have for you today? Let's dive in!

In today's episode, Connor and Jacob discuss the attractive freedom of Ferris Bueller. Even though his actions and motivations aren't the best, Ferris portrays a confidence and boldness that is just so attractive. Why is that? When you compare the way he approaches life to that of Cameron Fry, Principal Rooney, or even Ferris' sister, you have to admit that Ferris seems like he's on a whole other level! Let's talk about it!

In today's episode, Connor & Jacob dive into the historical fiction, 20-year-later-sequel, "Gladiator 2." There's so much to unpack in the themes from this movie: from living in our God-given freedom & purpose, to using our Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (but which word?) to taking a hard look in the mirror and see if we, as the Church, are being part of the problem or the solution. Plus, how do we respond to a world determined to destroy and injure? Let's dive in!

- Finding confidence in our God-given gifts
