On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast:
From its announcement, First Reformed has been one of the most requested episodes of Reel World Theology– even before the film came out. It only took the trailer and the people attached to it to pique enough interest among the community. We take some time to look at how this movie explores and evaluates Christianity and where it gets things right and where it is mostly making commentary on the extremes of its adherents. Take some time with this one.
