Nacho Libre with Paul McDonald and Dustin Oprea

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Dustin and I get you ready for summer with Nacho Libre. Play is important, we need it to transform the drone of every day life into a dance. Watching a movie like this, which is playful and funny, simply for the joy it brings is a form of play. We dive into the playfulness of God, and how important it is for us to engage in play—doing an activity simply for the joy it brings us. They don’t think I know a buttload of crap about the gospel, but I do. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
