Stranger Things Season 4 Part One has graced us with its wonderful presence and maybe you’re still recovering from the late-night binge like I am. Regardless of all of the shocks, twists, and turns of this season, I think we can all agree on the one cameo no one was expecting: Kate Bush. A phenomenal artist of the past and a fair niche one at that, I’m not sure that Kate herself expected the renaissance that her anthology is now receiving.

But the song is more than just an epic moment, it’s also a great story worth telling that speaks to the overall story being told by Stranger Things. Make no mistake, them Duffer boys didn’t pick this song accidentally. It’s also a story worth telling in the church. So what say you and I run up that hill to make a deal with God and find out what in the world we can learn from a 35-year-old synthy jam?

 Let's talk about it.
