Life Matters - Media
I've begun teaching a class at Gracepoint Fellowship Church called Life Matters. In particular, I'm teaching a section called "Are you there God? - Media." Honestly while preparing for the class, I wasn't sure there would be any clear answers. However, to my surprise, there are some solid books on this topic such as
Catching Light: Looking For God In The Movies by Roy Anker. I structured the class similar to some movie commentaries that
Pastor Ed Kang and Kelly Kang have done at
Gracepoint Fellowship Church where we covered movies such as
Lord of the Rings and
Evan Almighty. However, in my class, I wanted to delve deeper into more thematic issues that weren't as clean cut. We went through
The Day After Tomorrow and
Superman (1978). Verdict is still out what I'm going to next, but it's quite a ride teaching this class.
