Movies are full of symbolism and reveal the conscious and subconscious beliefs and ideas of the creative minds behind these stories, whether they are fiction or nonfiction. After watching Free Guy for the first time, I am convinced that this movie is clearly connected to my belief system in a way that I found to be fun and very entertaining.

There are YouTube videos and articles about Illuminati and Freemason elements in movies, conspiracy theories about secret societies and brainwashing. Some of these may have merit. But what I see less often are messages about my core beliefs, which involve the love of our Creator and Father God, and his son Jesus Christ. And the warmth of His Holy Spirit. The film Free Guy has this message woven into the tapestry of its fictional world.

Gold medals, business, and philanthropy... how did all of those intersect in August 2021? Tamyra Mensah-Stock inspired millions of people with her excitement after winning the gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics. She proclaimed that she was going to use her earnings from the U.S. Olympic committee to buy her mother a food truck. And that is just the beginning of an inspirational story that we discuss in this 7 minute episode, tying in a quote from Rocky Balboa, along with some experiences from my local community in Texas.

Thank you for joining us on this journey to go, give, and grow in every area of our lives. As we go (take action), give (share the love with our community), and grow (so seeds for a harvest) it is important that we reflect on where we have been and use that as part of the fuel for where we are going. In the first 10 episodes we shared movie quotes, nonprofits that are changing the world, and the businesses at the forefront of philanthropy and mission-based enterprise.

We have some exciting episodes coming up this month. Be sure to subscribe and share this podcast with your family, friends business associates, and loved ones. I hope it impacts them in a positive way!
