Description

Paul McDonald and Morgan Snyder talk about the 2004 film Crash. This redemptively disturbing movie is a mirror that reflects our faulty vision.  Each character is at times a victim, and at other times a perpetrator—our choices determine which way we will go and which identity we will embrace.  Thankfully, the person I am today is not the end of the story. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Morgan mentioned a worksheet to do a deep dive into the biases revealed in the movie.  You can access it here.

About Morgan Snyder

Morgan Snyder has served alongside John Eldredge since before the inception of Wild at Heart almost two decades ago. Originally developing and directing the retreats and conferences, Morgan now serves as a speaker, teacher, and Director of Strategy.

He is married to an extraordinary woman, Cherie, and finds great joy in adventuring with his son, Joshua, and his daughter, Abigail. When he’s not with his family or on mission, he is most often found on expeditions in the mountains of Colorado.

He leads the Become Good Soil discipleship branch of Wild at Heart: “Become Good Soil is above all an invitation. When the time is right, it is particularly an invitation into a decade to join me and a tribe of like-hearted men who together are recovering the path and process that restore the heart of a man. This is for the few who want to risk everything to live in a way that God has to show up. The invitation is made available to all. Yet it is always a few who respond to the wild heart of the living God with a wholehearted yes. G. K. Chesterton reminds us that every generation loses the path of Life, and every generation is charged with its recovery. For over 20 years, I have sought to curate and distill its recovery in our age. It’s my joy to share the adventure with you. To the few, the brave, welcome.”
