The Bible: The Original Screenplay

Episode 210 - Superman

What do Superman and the Bible have in common? More than you might think.
In this special impromptu episode, we dive into the messianic themes, heroic parallels, and Biblical symbolism found throughout Superman’s cinematic history—from the 1978 classic to the brand-new Superman (2025). And for the first time ever, we recorded our immediate reaction right after seeing the new film. It’s raw, real, and was really fun! 
Be advised, there are spoilers in this episode!
Join us as we explore why Superman continues to resonate as a modern myth—and how his story echoes the Greatest Story Ever Told.

Episode 209 - The Last Crusade

The Holy Grail. A relic promising eternal life....but… it’s not in the Bible.
In this episode, we trace the origin of Grail lore — from medieval myth to modern blockbuster — and explore why the idea of a sacred object that grants eternal life has captured imaginations for centuries.
We dig into Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, unpack why the Grail is such a powerful symbol in books, movies, and TV, and ask what all this fascination reveals about our desire for something more.
Spoiler: the real story of eternal life is even better.

Episode 208 - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Indiana Jones was chasing a relic....but Scripture points us to something greater: the presence of God.
In this episode, we explore the iconic Raiders of the Lost Ark — from Nazis to that golden chest — and the mysteries and wonders about the real Ark of the Covenant.
We also unpack stories from our co-host’s recent mission trip to Ethiopia, where locals believe the Ark still resides today.
So… where is the Ark? And more importantly — should we be looking for a powerful object, or a powerful God?

Episode 207 - Andor

What does it mean to fight for good knowing you may never see the payoff?
In this episode, we dive into Andor, one of the most morally complex and grounded entries in the Star Wars universe, to explore themes of sacrifice, hidden resistance, and unshakable hope.
We’re joined by our first-ever guest to unpack the series and many of the infamous connections to the Biblical story including the gritty beauty of Luthen’s famous quote — “I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I’ll never see."
From covert rebellions to prophetic obedience, this one’s about unseen faithfulness and why your quiet courage still matters.

In this episode, we wrap up our journey through Proverbs! This final chapter dives into the long stretch of short, pithy, punchy sayings—and how these timeless truths show up everywhere we look.
From Star Wars to The Last Crusade (of course), we have a lot of fun unpacking the final chapters and exploring the movie moments that echo these Proverbs.
