In this engaging interview I speak again to Paul McDonald from his Men at the Movies podcast about a Netflix TV series called "Adolescence" that deals with the harsh reality of a young boy who is accused of a horrendous crime.   We dive deep and reflect on key moments and themes from the series.. from a fathers perspective.  How do we cope as fathers when tragedy, chaos, and the unknown strikes our children?

We chat to Paul McDonald who loves movies and dives deep into the heart of why movies matter to men.  He hosts a "Men at the Movies" podcast, as well as a Youtube channel which incorporates the visual side of the podcast.

Between that we talk about his background, our identity, God, and raw conversation on death, life, and vulnerability with God.   A big chat but worth the listen.  Enjoy!
