Cultivating the Christian Imagination

Pastor Brandon McCulloch and Dane Bundy discuss the deeply dark and religious film about a priest's loss of faith -- First Reformed (2017)

Incarnation is one of the most powerful means of communication. Stories incarnate worldviews into images and symbols. Movies are an example.

"Everything I did, I did to protect you." When I hear those words in a movie, I'm usually watching a character defend a terrible set of choices. A conversation like this is usually the tip of the iceberg. For whatever has taken place, including the lies and the steps taken to cover them up are forcefully coming to the surface. This dark and frightening thriller is about two friends, Vaughn (Jack Lowden) and Marcus (Martin McCann), who take a weekend hunting trip in Scotland.
