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

    • Christianity

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we close out our summer blockbuster series with the movie ET. This is a story of wonder, of how the impossible comes to what we think is ordinary, and colors the world differently.  We find that when the supernatural touches your life, the impossible manipulates the environment and changes everything. But if we allow ourselves to stop worrying and connect to a life of mystery, mess, and miracles, we find that the impossible becomes possible. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions


Where is the wonder in the moment?
When have you seen the impossible happen?
How do you diminish or explain away the impossible when it enters in?
What does it mean to you to “grow up?” Is this an appealing invitation?
How would “growing up” become something that you want to do?
Do you think worry is a sin? Why or why not?
How can you "show, don't tell" the gospel?
