Welcome to the Men at the Movies rerun series. This conversation originally aired in June 2022, but it's Field of Dreams. It's timeless.

In a vibrant life with God, He is always offering invitations to us.  But we must cultivate the conscious awareness to notice when He is speaking.  And when we embrace the risk and act on what he says, the story will always be better than we thought it would be.  So let’s follow the voice and go the distance, and discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we hit the waves with Point Break. The definition of a point break is where a wave breaks either right or left as it hits a part of land jutting out into the water. Every time Johnny’s life hits a point break, his life breaks in the wrong direction until he’s a man that’s lost his heart. What are you going to do when the land of life hits the wave of your journey? This is your wake up call, so join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we visit the wild west with Young Guns 1 and 2. This movie appeals to us because we all want to have a group of pals who pursue adventure and purpose together, who fight for freedom and justice. However, without a control line to guide us, we can easily lose our pals, and die alone. We’re going to the spirit world, and join us in discovering God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we look at The Lion King. Simba finds himself in a world of trauma and chaos-his father died, he’s in isolation, and the voice of the enemy is the only one he hears. But it wasn’t because Simba was weak that he was attacked. It was because of his birthright. We need to remember who we are, so join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the men at the movies podcast, we slay some dragons with Reign of Fire. If the dragons are symbols for sin, we see two flawed approaches. For Van Zandt, his life is obsessed with killing dragons and taking back territory in a legalistic manner. Quinn is always on defense and has a defeatist mentality. The problem with both perspectives is that they focus on the dragons, and not life. In the same way, we focus on sin when we should be focused on the Savior. It’s time to kick out the squatters, and take some territory back this week on the Men at the Movies podcast.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we slow down to find the treasure within The Tree of Life. The father shows the way of nature, a path motivated by shame, fear, and scarcity. He longs for intimacy with his family, but doesn’t know how to find it. The mother reveals the way of grace, which appears foolish and naive, even weak. But by choosing forgiveness over fear, trust over scarcity, and submission over dominance, she shows the way to discover the glory and beauty we most want to find. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
