From Broadway musicals and Disney movies to Mumford & Sons, The Good Place, and more, they share their own formative moments, react to listener stories, and celebrate the unexpected places where theology shows up in everyday culture.

This week, Erin and Evan discuss A Great Awakening, the Sight & Sound Films drama about George Whitefield and the First Great Awakening. They unpack the film's theology, Benjamin Franklin's surprising role in the story, and George Whitefield's complicated legacy, while offering a few gentle rebukes and, of course, creating youth group sermon illustrations based on the film.

In honor of Toy Story 5, Erin and Evan are going back to where it all started to give the original Toy Story the Faith Adjacent treatment! You’ll hear favored and forsaken moments, life verses for the movie, who we would cast in the live action version, and so much more! Is Toy Story just Biblical fan fiction of Peter and Paul?
