  • Ep 43: Fighting for Reconciliation
    Feb 9 2025

    This episode about fighting for reconciliation is a continuation on the discussion about Ender's Game. In this conversation we discuss how fear and ego can stifle curiosity, particularly in religious spaces where certainty is prized over open exploration. We also touch on the importance of self-reflection in fighting for what’s right, highlighting how silence can be just as harmful as active wrongdoing. Finally, we draw parallels between family dynamics and business culture, emphasizing that trust and long-term vision outweigh short-term gains.

    In this episode, we explore Ender’s Game, the cinematic adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s novel. Following Ender’s rise as a brilliant strategist, we unpack the moral weight of his decisions, the manipulation of truth, and the devastating consequences of war. Using our SMART framework, we examine the ethics of leadership, the role of fear in shaping society, and the tension between compassion and aggression. We also draw connections to faith, reflecting on sacrifice, the pursuit of truth, and what it means to confront threats in our lives. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion about this movie!

  • Ep 41: Sequel Fatigue and Parallels to the Church’s Journey
    Sep 19 2024

    This episode was sparked by the number of recent movies and sequels that just ended up being disappointing. We dive into the factors that may contribute to the production of bad movies (quality and content wise) and the challenges the audience may face in navigating them. At the end we turn the conversation to an unexpected comparison—the church's journey—and how it reflects similar struggles. We hope you enjoy rethinking the movie ecosystem with us!
