At some point in our masculine initiation, fear takes over and we have to respond. We can hide in our foxhole screaming as the world blows up around us.

8-Bit Christmas with Paul McDonald and Sarah Daniels
December 29, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we ring in the new year with 8-Bit Christmas.

Violent Night with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
December 15, 2023 13:20 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we kick off our Christmas season with Violent Night. Like Santa, we feel burned out, unnecessary, valued for what we provide more than who we are. The only way to fix it is to get involved in messy, costly situations, pulling a past we’d like to forget into the present to engage where our presence is most needed. It won’t be easy, it will get ugly, but it’s the only way to get our purpose back. Let’s find our ho, ho, ho’s, and discover God’s truth ...
The Big Lebowski with Paul McDonald, Britt Mooney, Josh Boyer, and Rob Whisler
December 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 93.5 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we celebrate our three year anniversary with The Big Lebowski. This example of great art allows us to look at the story and interpret it in a variety of ways. On the one hand, this movie reflects the meaninglessness of life in a style very similar to the book of Ecclesiastes. Each character is searching for meaning but keeps coming up empty. The Dude, however, from a certain perspective, shows the power of identity. He is calm in the face of strugg...

November 24, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 78 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we go on the run with The Next Three Days.

Even though it’s forty years old, we find familiar themes with the threat of nuclear war and the use of artificial intelligence.

As a result, we can become gun shy, seeing bombs where they don’t exist, listening to computer driven hallucinations. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie. Questions What’s your favorite nu...

We must resolve to go through it, not knowing what is on the other side, even if we’re unable to see a path forward. Every day, we lace up our boots, cultivate our crap, and solve one problem at a time. ...
Best of Times with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
October 13, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we get you excited about football with Best of Times. We see two ways we frequently get trapped: we are either like Jack, constantly replaying our worst mistakes and identifying with them. Or we are like Reno, feeling like our best days are behind us, identified by a greatness we can no longer achieve. We find ourselves stuck, because living a broken life is easier than fixing it. But God can’t move a parked car, and won’t fill a net that we don’t...
Legend with Paul McDonald and Bryan Timothy Mitchell
October 06, 2023 10:00 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we discuss the 80’s movie Legend. Many people walk through life thinking that walking with God prevents evil from harming them. When their world collapses, they run into hiding thinking it’s their fault.

Just keep swimming, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie. ...
Taken with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
September 22, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 95.2 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we deep dive into the world of Taken. We discuss how we frequently act like Kim towards God: we look at him as super strict, a buzzkill. We are willing to sever relationship if we don’t get what we want. Thankfully, our Father pursues us with a committed, relentless purpose, willing to go through anything to restore our relationship. But we aren’t rescued to be a consumer in the audience—we are rescued in order to discover what makes our heart come...
The Green Mile with Paul McDonald and Robert Moore
September 15, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I sit down with Robert Moore to discuss the Green Mile. John Coffey shows Paul and the other guards things that they can’t unsee. Each event is like a step in faith, from a personal experience of healing all the way to recruitment and risk to share the good news with others. Like Coffey, God asks us to take what looks dead and hopeless and to give it to him. It’s risky. It’s uncomfortable. But transformation and healing always is. Join us as we di...
Tron with Paul McDonald and Sarah Daniels
September 08, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we talk about the 1982 movie Tron. We see how the relationship between the programs and the users is a reflection of the relationship between ourselves and our creator. The MCP becomes a distortion of who he was created to be by his search for knowledge and power. But when we have a relationship with our creator, and do the things we were designed to do, we experience a joy even in doing hard things. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie...

Robert McCall reflects many aspects of the work of Jesus—he responds to people who are powerless against the oppression they experience because he’s a man who can do something about the evil that exists. How do you become a knight in shining armor in a world where knights no longer exist? You gotta be who you are in this world, no matter what. Join us as we discover God’s truth in t...

In God, we find a person who is beyond anything that we can comprehend, who also draws us into an intimate relationship with Him. Join us as we discover God’s truth...
Willow with Paul McDonald and Bryan Timothy Mitchell
August 11, 2023 10:00 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we discuss the 1988 movie Willow. The main characters think they are less than, not enough.

Ignore the bird, follow the river, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie. About Bryan Bryan is an author, cyber security...

It doesn’t matter how utopian you think your society will be, someone will always screw it up. When we use fear and anger as motivation, we turn militaristic in our approach to others. And we see how busyness can blind us to the needs of others. Get your hands off you, you filthy ape, and join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie. About Caleb Caleb is a ...
Toy Story 3 with Paul McDonald and Corey Stumne
July 28, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 92.2 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we conclude our Toy Story series with Toy Story 3. Times of tragedy and trauma can cause us to misinterpret the heart of God. Many times we turn to control the situation, looking for a world without owners, a world free from rejection. As we, and the toys, discover, in building our own idea of heaven, we find ourselves in prison, slaves to the world we created. Grab your tissues, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie. Questions How old wer...

Corey and I talk about how, just like Woody, we have God’s name written on our souls, even when we feel old, abandoned, and forgotten. Like a missionary, Woody gets sent to people who need to be rescued. But he only sees two options—leave them behind and return to Andy, or join them to live life in a glass box. It’s only when Buzz shows up that his true purpose becomes clear, and it’s the same as...
Toy Story with Paul McDonald and Corey Stumne
July 14, 2023 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Corey and I begin our three part series, opening with Toy Story. At some point in our lives, we all feel like either Woody or Buzz. Like Woody, we fear rejection, struggling to believe we are still beloved. Or we can be like Buzz, who doesn’t have a true grasp of his identity, either believing he is more important or less important than he was designed and created to be. But once they grasp the truth of who they are, they find peace and joy in the ...
To End All Wars with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
July 07, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Britt and I discuss the movie To End All Wars. The POW camp represents the places in our lives where we feel helpless, where injustice occurs. When that happens, we can respond by our human nature, or empowered by the grace of the gospel. When we experience tragedy, injustice, helplessness and loss, we find out if the words of Jesus are hyperbole or the true way to find life. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie. Questions How have yo...

What better movie to kick off the week than Superman, a person who stands for truth, justice, and the American way? Sarah and I dig into the parallels we find between Kal-El’s and Jesus’ stories.

Martian Child with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
June 16, 2023 10:00 - 58 minutes - 80 MBTo celebrate Father’s Day, Britt and I discuss Martian Child. We can’t be David unless we’ve gone through being Dennis.

As we do that, we find that there is a difference between telling a story and living a story. Let’s live an interesting story today, and discover God’s truth in this movie.

Hook with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney
June 02, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Britt and I talk about what it means to grow up from the movie Hook. We don’t realize how often God allows crisis to enter our lives so that we can recover our hearts and discover the hero we were meant to be. We can’t remain a child forever, but how can we avoid become a pirate who lives in fear, who takes, and whose life ultimately doesn’t matter? We must learn to crow, to fly, and to fight, combining the heart of a child with the strength of mat...

Sound Design and Inception with Paul McDonald and Grayson Foster
May 12, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MBComing up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Grayson Foster and I get technical with Inception. One of the best parts of this movie, and really any great movie, is the sound design that helps to tell the story. We nerd out on how that happens, and the work that it takes to bring that story to life from an audio standpoint. Having a better grasp of what makes an effective story will help you appreciate and understand the story even more. He who has ears, let him hear. Questions What is you...
