In this episode of Geek Devotions, Celeste looks at Predator Badlands and the struggle Dek faces as he tries to prove himself. His story lines up with something many of us deal with every day. We push so hard to be strong that we forget weakness is part of being human. This devotion digs into what Scripture says about God’s strength showing up in our weakness and why leaning on community matters more than we admit.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, dealing with self doubt, or wondering how faith fits into those moments, this conversation may help you rethink what weakness actually means. We talk about Christian encouragement, relying on others, and finding hope even when life feels heavier than it should.Timestamps:00:00 – Why Weakness Matters (Predator: Badlands Illustration)01:10 – Welcome Back from Louisiana Delta Con01:33 – Why It’s Hard to Admit We’re Weak02:34 – We All Mess Up02:38 – What Paul Says About Weakness (Scripture)03:06 – When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong04:00 – You Haven’t Failed Too Much for God04:13 – New Episodes on The Bottom Shelf and We Read Allegedly04:24 – How You Can Support Geek Devotions04:37 – Final Encouragement and Sign-Off💙 THANK YOU TO OUR PATRONSWe are so thankful to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who help make this ministry possible:Ruiz Family, Adam Arciniega, Lady Lommax, Paul Turner, Jacob Russell, Mike Alderman, Nerd Chapel, Monster Island Film Vault, PaulJPowers.com, Michael Manacci, The Cel Cast, Savie Wilson, John Harju, Kevin Lovelace, Branson Boykin, Leah Miller, Brianna Sheagley — and so many more.Thank you for your continued support!🙌 SUPPORT GEEK DEVOTIONSWant to help us keep doing what we do?

Each week, we use geek pop culture—movies, video games, anime, and comics—to share hope and encouragement rooted in the love of Christ.In this episode, we dive into "Predator Badlands" and the journey of Dek, the smallest of his Predator tribe. This story highlights a fascinating crossover with Weyland's son, offering a fresh take on the "alien vs predator" universe. It’s a compelling look at the "predator franchise" and its broader connection to the "alien franchise", exploring themes of weakness and strength within a "sci-fi" context.
