Description

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we enter the battlefield to talk about Act of Valor. Being dangerous is sacred, but what does it mean to be dangerous? Our worldview shapes who we are becoming, and we discuss a framework for seeing the world we live in. And we find that our mission is to live out our Father’s legacy. Find out what that means as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
