What is the best Disney movie of all time and why is it The Lion King? TikTok All-Star and #FOCUS Missionary Tanner Kalina joins us to talk about our cats, his time as a Hollywood actor, and this beautiful gift of an animated movie.

- Why God is an a**hole in the Old Testament (Is he tho?)

- Henri Nouwen

- The Eucharist & the circle of life
