Men at the Movies Podcast Paul McDonald
-
- TV & Film
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.

Finding a Vibrant Life with God
Welcome to the Men at the Movies rerun series. This conversation originally aired in June 2022, but it's Field of Dreams. It's timeless.
In a vibrant life with God, He is always offering invitations to us. But we must cultivate the conscious awareness to notice when He is speaking. And when we embrace the risk and act on what he says, the story will always be better than we thought it would be. So let’s follow the voice and go the distance, and discover God’s truth in this movie.
Questions
Where have you heard or experienced God’s voice in your life?
Where have you done something crazy that didn’t make sense to anyone else? How did that turn out?
How do you feel if you don’t follow the voice?
What bold moves God is inviting you to participate in?
What are the small moves, the internal shifts, God is inviting you to engage in?
What is God up to in your life?
Where do you feel like your life is in a small story? Where do you feel fenced in?
Where do you try to make your life larger than it is right now?
When have you heard a voice that sounds like it might be reckless?

What are you going to do when the land of life hits the wave of your journey? This is your wake up call, so join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
Questions

The Power of Pals
Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we visit the wild west with Young Guns 1 and 2. This movie appeals to us because we all want to have a group of pals who pursue adventure and purpose together, who fight for freedom and justice. However, without a control line to guide us, we can easily lose our pals, and die alone. We’re going to the spirit world, and join us in discovering God’s truth in this movie.
Questions
Who are your pals?
Who saw potential in you and invited you in?
Who is your favorite character? Why?
Which role/voice do you have in your group of pals?
How do the themes of a man’s heart (battle, adventure, beauty) play out for you each day?
