The Tree of Life: Nature vs. Grace Men at the Movies Podcast
-
- TV & Film
Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we slow down to find the treasure within The Tree of Life. The father shows the way of nature, a path motivated by shame, fear, and scarcity. He longs for intimacy with his family, but doesn’t know how to find it. The mother reveals the way of grace, which appears foolish and naive, even weak. But by choosing forgiveness over fear, trust over scarcity, and submission over dominance, she shows the way to discover the glory and beauty we most want to find. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
Questions
How do your fears reveal your identity?
How is a way of grace difficult? In what way does it appear weak? What is the fruit of that way?
How would you describe the way of nature? Why does it appeal to you? Why does it appear strong? What is the fruit of that path?
What way comes most naturally to you: the way of nature or the way of grace?
Where do you feel like you will be the source of your children’s failure?
How does shame motivate you?
Where do you feel the need to defend yourself the most?
What would it be like to slow down and sit down with the big questions?
