WLSU, Don't Let Go - The Rev. Philip DeVaul

11 years ago my family and I walked into a theater and watched what would become one of the most significant movies of the last several decades. Of course I'm talking about Frozen. It became the highest grossing film of that year, the highest grossing animated film up to that point, and singlehandedly re-established the cultural relevance of Disney's animated movies. But more important than all that, Frozen brought the song "Let it Go" into the world. Everything else about Frozen's impact pales in comparison to this. "Let it Go" won an Oscar, a Grammy, and sold nearly 11million copies in one year. Even if you have never seen Frozen you have heard this song. And if you have had a child, grandchild, godchild, or are friends with anyone who has had any of these in the last decade, you know this song. It is impossible to overstate its ubiquity in our culture. Let me step back for a moment and acknowledge the obvious. Yes, I am still a priest and this is still my religious podcast. And yes, I am an adult. And yes, in the midst of some of the most interesting and trying times in recent memory, I am here talking/writing about a Disney movie and one of its songs. Stick with me. Jesus will be here soon. Want to support our podcast? Give Here https://redeemercincy.tpsdb.com/Give/podcast
