Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're talking about the growing trend of movie-themed church sermons and series. We discuss Saddleback Church's recent "At the Movies" sermon series, which featured sermons on "Toy Story" and "Top Gun" and how those stories reflect some spiritual truths about us. We explain how the problem isn't stories or films themselves, many of which can indeed reflect biblical truths, but the focus on ourselves. Saddleback claims that "movies are a reflection of us – each story shows us a glimpse of the human experience." But church isn't about us, nor should it be. We explain the seemingly incessant need some churches feel to be seeker-friendly at all costs – sometimes even at the cost of biblical literacy. We also discuss a recent controversial Jamie Foxx Instagram post and the mob of teens who overtook Union Square in New York City last week.  --- Timecodes: (01:03) Intro (07:34) Church at the Movies (43:50) Jamie Foxx's Instagram post (52:04) New York City riots --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angele
