After seeing the Super Mario Bros. Movie achieve over 1.3 BILLION dollars in box office money, it is safe to say that the long-running challenge of turning video games into successful movies has been broken by icons such as Sonic and Mario in their respective cinematic adventures. The world of the Mushroom Kingdom was so successfully translated to the silver screen that it will take multiple viewings to catch all the visual Easter eggs and musical cues that paid homage to pretty much every iteration of Mario’s history. But the lead up to this release was anything but smooth… while the first trailer was warmly embraced by every Nintendo fan who has every picked up a controller, the reception was decidedly less enthusiastic when Mario spoke through the voice of Chris Pratt for the first time WITHOUT his iconic voice or accent. “Mamma Mia” indeed…

Join us for an exploration of a "common" problem in both this game-turned-movie and in our real worlds, and find that just as the very lack of originality in Mario’s voice ended up working just fine in the Super Mario Bros. movie to keep the focus on the story being told, the Lord may not write the answer to our prayers in the clouds. He is actually speaking directly to our hearts through His Spirit to remind us of His teachings and guide us in a far better way than any burning bush, talking donkey, or miraculous walking stick ever could.
