The new Superman movie just hit theaters and there's renewed talk about parallels between the famous superhero and spiritual figures like Jesus. I saw the movie. It's a message of hope in a dark world. On this solo episode of "Run The Race" (make sure to subscribe), along with faith symbolism on the big screen, I also talk about how you can get jacked up with workouts like the latest actor playing the Man of Steel.

Since Superman was created by a pair of Jewish teens almost 90 years ago, there have been Biblical parallels to the story. Hear some of those specific examples...but also know, fictional superheroes cannot save us and we do not need to be Superman. We can only try to be the best version of ourselves, with the gifts God gave us.

I've got some quotes from some other Superman movies about being the "light of the world" and Americans not "needing a savior" along with Bible verses that correlate. And are we headed to a Christian and American revival? There are some ways this new film makes Superman cool again, and the church too. And check out my review of the latest blockbuster movie.

On this episode, we also dig a little into how actor David Correnswet built muscle mass and put on 40 pounds for the epic role, including how much he ate daily, a breakdown of those nearly daily workouts, music to get pumped up to, and what exercises you can do to be like Superman.
