    Episode 4: The Real Villain of Harry Potter (and the gospel therein)

    Different Christians have different comfort levels when it comes to wizards in media. Harry Potter, however, is a strange wizard because his story is not about sorcery at all. The themes the series explores are central to what it means to be a Christian in a world of humanism and where our hope lies in the face of death.

    Episode 3: Idol Chatter, Why Stories are Better than Universes

    Idols are the things humans make that demand our allegiance. In another foundational conversation, we explore the difference between telling a story and crafting a universe. How and when do stories become idols and what are the ways that a good ambassador can interact with a culture’s creations to help them discern deeper truths behind them?

    Episode 2: You're an Ambassador Charlie Brown!

    Taking a few steps back to define our terms here, this episode outlines the thought process behind our name “Happy Ambassadors.” Using the book “The Gospel According to Peanuts” as inspiration, we examine the gift of Tongues as it pertains to storytelling and explore film’s role in expressing God’s truth and our role in interpreting it.

    Debut Episode (LARM and Longing for Meaningful Duty)

    Our debut episode explores the topic of Live Action ReMakes (LARM), comparing masterpieces like Cinderella (2015) to recent entries like How to Train Your Dragon (2025). How do the stories we tell thrive when they are rich with meaning and originality, or falter when bogged down by a desire to please? Join us as we discuss all this and more and get a taste for what our podcast can be. Welcome to Happy Ambassadors.
