Episode 13 - God's Greenlights

Wouldn't it just be like a couple of Christian guys to glean inspiration from a Hollywood A-lister?  Well, no... it wouldn't.  But that's what makes this episode so interesting!  Matthew McConaughey's 2020 memoir, "Greenlights", has been a surprising success, staying atop the non-fiction bestseller list for 50 weeks.  While his famous style and flare for life might be an unsuspecting source of inquiry after manly virtue, it turns out there may be more than meets the eye to this Romcom actor.

Chad rides out in front as the Lone Ranger for this pseudo book review, and Ben cautiously brings up the rear, a type-cast Tonto if there ever was one.  The co-hosts sift through McConaughey's story and its themes for nuggets of inspiration and wisdom.   Does adventure still have a place in the life of modern man?  How can a man's life--both his successes and setbacks--be framed as a progression toward deeper meaning?  And where does the gospel fit into this 'Greenlight' approach?
