This episode features a deep dive into the film "Wake Up Dead Man" (the latest Knives Out movie) from a Christian perspective. Hosts Preston and Femi explore whether it qualifies as a "Christian film" and discuss how its portrayal of Father Judd—an earnest, sincere priest—offers a surprisingly generous depiction of genuine faith. They analyze the various church characters as representations of different dynamics found in American Christianity, from devotion without faith to political manipulation of religion. The conversation highlights how the film's "show don't tell" approach creates meaningful opportunities for discussing authentic Christianity with both believers and non-believers, making it a valuable tool for discipleship and evangelism when engaging with broader culture.
Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.
