Description

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we enter the timeline with The Adam Project starring Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, and Zoe Saldana. Great stories are woven around stakes, goals, and even battles that are personal—because our lives are. Our actions have consequences, and our biggest impact is revealed in the lives of those around you. And our legacy will be determined by our ability to listen to the truth from the Father—You’re my son, and I love you, and you’re amazing. Let’s smoke this banana….or something, and discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions

• What younger self do you regard with shame? Regret? Hatred? Loathing?
• How would it feel to forgive that younger part of you? To welcome him home?
• What needs to be said to someone? Parents? Spouse? Kids? Yourself? God? Mentor? Friends?
• “You’re my son, and I love you, and you’re amazing.” Do you feel like that’s true? What would it take for you to believe it?
• What do you think you’ll look like in heaven? What words would describe your finished self?
• Who will you become?
• What is the impact on those around you? Can you ask your wife, kids, friends (and receive it without becoming defensive)?
