Dying to Self: Love & Sacrifice in Spider-Man 2- Kingdom Geeks Podcast

Does being a hero mean losing everything?

This week on Kingdom Geeks, we’re swinging into the streets of NYC to revisit Sam Raimi’s masterpiece, Spider-Man 2. While Peter Parker struggles to balance his grades, his job, and his love for Mary Jane, he faces a choice every Christian knows well: pursuing his own desires or embracing the mission he was given. 

Whether you're a lifelong Web-Head or just looking for the Gospel in the geeky, this episode is for you.

"Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."

Law, Grace, and the Silver Candlesticks (Les Misérables 2012)- Kingdom Geeks Podcast

Is it possible to be "too righteous" to understand God?

In this episode of Kingdom Geeks, we’re trading our comic books for 19th-century French literature as we dive into the 2012 cinematic adaptation of Les Misérables. While we love a good superhero origin story, few characters have a more powerful transformation than Jean Valjean.

Join us as we break down the high-stakes collision between The Law and The Gospel. We explore:

The Bishop’s Silver: How a single act of "scandalous grace" bought a soul for God and jumpstarted a life of redemption.

Javert vs. Valjean: The tragic irony of a man who follows the Law so perfectly that he loses sight of the Lawgiver.

The Weight of the Past: How Valjean’s struggle to shed his prisoner identity mirrors our own journey in Christ.

The Final Soliloquy: Does "to love another person" truly mean "to see the face of God"?

Whether you’re a musical theater fanatic or just a geek for good storytelling, join us at the barricade as we point out the fingerprints of the Creator in this timeless masterpiece.

Superman as a Christ-like Figure: Finding Jesus in good movie versions of Superman- Kingdom Geeks

Is he an alien from Krypton, or an echo of the Savior? In today’s episode, we tackle the one of the most famous superheroes with Christ-like qualities in cinematic history: Superman.

The Man of Steel has long been used by filmmakers to reflect the character of Jesus Christ. We look at some of the film Superman portrayals—Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routhe, Henry Cavill, and even the new 2025 David Corenswet era—to see how some of these Superman portrayals have Christ-like characteristics and how some of them have traits that resemble a false depiction of who God is.

What if Peter Pan forgot who he was?

This week on Kingdom Geeks, we’re flying past the second star on the right and heading straight for Neverland as we revisit the 1991 classic, Hook. While Robin Williams brings the magic, we’re looking deeper at the spiritual battle for the heart of the family.

The Father Heart of God: Viewing Peter’s desperate search for his children through the lens of a God who relentlessly pursues us.

The Hook vs. The Father: Analyzing how the enemy tries to steal our legacy and how "remembering" is our greatest weapon.

From Selfish to Servant: Unpacking the Origin Story of Spider-Man- Kingdom Geeks

Before the movies and the multiverse, there was a nerdy teenager in Queens who learned a devastating lesson about what it means to be a hero.

In this episode of Kingdom Geeks, we’re swinging back to 1962 to look at the comic book origin of the Amazing Spider-Man (Amazing Fantasy #15). While the world knows the line "With great power comes great responsibility," we’re diving deeper into the Biblical themes in the story of Peter Parker becoming the superhero known as Spider-Man.

What we discuss:

How we are not to be selfish and how Peter Parker using his Spider powers for selfish gain and his ego lead to Uncle Ben’s demise (Philippians 2:3)

How Uncle Ben and Aunt May were good parent figures for Peter.

How the theme of Great Power comes Great Responsibility shapes Spider-Man.

The danger of wanting revenge and creating bitterness.

Welcome to the very first episode of Kingdom Geeks! The Christian Nerd podcast that shows how good storytelling can point to Jesus.

In this introduction, your hosts Jared, Nathan, and Nate share the “origin story” and vision for this show. We believe that God is the ultimate storyteller, and because we are made in His image, the stories we create—from Marvel movies and Star Wars to Nintendo games and fantasy novels—often echo the beauty of the Gospel.

In this episode, we discuss:

Our Vision: Why we believe that good storytelling can point to Jesus.

Our Background: Who we are as Christians and geeks.

Our hope: To show that good movies, video games, comic books, novels, and good stories can point to the truth that is found in Christianity!

Our mission is simple: To show how the stories we love point us toward the Jesus we serve. Whether you are a lifelong believer or just a fan of great storytelling, there is a seat for you at our table.
