Aliens with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney Men at the Movies Podcast

    • TV & Film

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we explore the deeper themes of Aliens. We contrast the characteristics of godly femininity and masculinity with the signs of toxic femininity and masculinity. The toxic examples are driven by scarcity, treats life like a zero-sum game, manipulating and sacrificing others to get what they want. But Ripley demonstrates the ability to empower others while being empowered herself, finding strength in her vulnerability, and willing to sacrifice herself to protect others. We’re tiptoeing through this topic like walking through a cave full of facehugger eggs. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions


How do you respond when others are vulnerable?
How are you vulnerable with others?
How can you empower and lift up the women in your life?
Where do I want others to sacrifice for me?
What are you willing to sacrifice for those you love?
How can the speck in others’ eyes reveal the plank in your own?
