Description

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we push the boundaries with The Girl Next Door starring Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, and Timothy Oliphant.  When we try to transition from a life we don’t want, the enemy shows up to remind us of our past.  He is relentless, and will never stop squeezing you.  But Jesus came to show us the juice, and how to handle the squeeze.  The craziest thing you’ve ever done might be listening to this podcast, but just go with it, and find God’s truth in this movie.
