We are back from a two month hiatus. We give you a bit of an update on where we have been and the expansion of the podcast! 

In this week's episode, we wondered "can fear actually become your greatest ally?" We look to the nostalgic 1994 film "The Pagemaster" to answer this question as well as discuss its central themes when it comes to overcoming fear with faith.

 Listen in as we dissect the film’s way of illustrating how fear can be both an obstacle and a powerful catalyst for personal growth. We also share the redemptive analogies you love, drawing on biblical scriptures like 2 Timothy 1:7 and Joshua 1:9 to explore the themes in this movie.
