Sacred Cinema: Contact


Listen Later

Join Knox, Jamie, and Erin in this Sacred Cinema as they discuss Contact, starring Jodie Foster and Mathew McConaughey. Listen along as they deep-dive this 90s Sci-Fi film and explore questions like “Is there a Christ figure” and “Does this film have a problematic faith character?” What do Matthew McConaughey, Brene Brown, and Rob Bell have in common? What would Christian Twitter think about Palmer Joss? Can science and faith work together? You’ll have to make contact with this episode to find out!
