Kenny and Mike review and discuss the faith elements reflected in the new Apple tv + film starring Will Smith. Among the subjects discussed are the need for another film featuring the struggle to escape from slavery (amidst recent attempts to soften the experience and history of slavery,) the shock and impact of seeing individuals and an entire race being dehumanized, specifically being "owned and called "it," and separated from family, and the performance by Smith as well as if and how it might be impacted by "the slap."
Faith Notes:
Theodicy and maintaining faith and hope amidst struggles. The consecration into, and servant nature of leadership. The use of Scripture to establish, nurture, and sustain faith amidst struggles and the misuse of Scripture to keep enslaved people docile and accepting.
