Resources discussed in this episode: 

Join Ron and John as they discuss three topics that, believe it or not, are completely interconnected. Spider-Man, Disney's The Lion King, and the 19th chapter of Leviticus. 

Both Ron and John are self-proclaimed comics and movie nerds, so this dialogue is right up their alley. But what's really exciting is how they weave those two topics into the central themes of Generation Spark: understanding your identity and living into it. 

It's a really fun conversation, and we're so grateful that you're taking the time to listen! 

Who doesn't love a good story?

For all children of God, we are part of a living story, unfolding from generation to generation. 

But not only that-- we've also inherited a story, one that our the generations before us have experienced to the full. 

This is one of the reasons we believe in intergenerational discipleship. Because we believe in walking in the story of God's people. Everywhere that story exists.
