Description

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we break down the fighting skills of John Wick. When we are attacked in our vulnerability, we fall back into patterns from the past.  And the more tense we are, the more power we give other people to control us. But it’s not the things we know that will get us in trouble, it’s the things we think we know that we don’t that will cause the greatest damage. Welcome to the Contintental, and lets discover God’s truth in this movie.
