Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney talk about The Suicide Squad (2021). Even though breaking patterns feels like death, if you want to live a different story, you’re going to have to make different decisions. But when you make that courageous choice, you inspire others to do the same. And we see that those things we hold too tightly can become our idols. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
