Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I talk with Dustin Oprea about The Guardian. We look at the main character, Ben, as someone we could become—an initiated man who allows his marriage to drown because he focuses on rescuing others. He doesn’t focus on how many people he saved, but is haunted by the ghosts of those he didn’t save. We see a man whose calling is motivated by fear, which causes him to hurt the people that matter most. Don’t let go, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie.
Do you focus more on the losses, or the rescues?
What is motivating your gifting, your calling?
How does your resume differ from your eulogy?
What’s on your dash, the line between your birthday and death day?.
What is the kingdom that you have been given?
Who has been entrusted to your care?
How do you handle your own heart?
What needs to be removed so that you can put in good stuff?Check out our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@menatthemovies) for bonus content.
