Description

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we are excited to have a woman join us to talk about one of her favorite movies, the original Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Michael Biehn. We discuss the differences between Sarah Connors in this movie contrasted with her character in T2. And we break down how she is transformed from a naïve waitress into a confident warrior. Storms coming, so come with us if you want to live, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie.

About Sarah:

Sarah Daniels works as a staff member of the Crossing LIFE Church in Windham, NH by day, and toils as an aspiring author by night. She's a movie nerd who's stuck in the 80s, and grew up with classics like The Last Starfighter, The Goonies, and The Terminator. She's currently funneling the life lessons she learned from them into a movie devotional and hosts monthly movie nights at her church to teach people how God can speak to us through movies and other aspects of pop culture. She's passionate about hearing the voice of God and encouraging people to break out of the Matrix and embrace their true identities as sons and daughters of God, and how to partner with God using their unique creative giftings, whatever those might be.
