    Faithspotting "The Tragedy of Macbeth"

    Faithspotting "The Tragedy of Macbeth"

    Kenny and Mike discuss the Tragedy of Macbeth and spot faith elements reflected in the Joel Coen film starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand.

    Faith Elements:

    God's warning against coveting power, influence, wealth etc. vs. contentment in one's position in life.  

    Living into Paul's teaching of the importance of every part of the body and the Body of Christ. Every function of the body is important and vital to the health and life of the body and Body.

    The Biblical understanding of the nature of leadership is to serve rather than be served.

    Temptation and seduction of worldly and unrighteous power and influence feeds and eventually feeds off insecurities, disappointments, and unfaithfulness in life.

    Ep. 2: Protagonists Who Are Writers (Misery + Seven Days in June)

    Ep. 2: Protagonists Who Are Writers (Misery + Seven Days in June)

    Summary: Today, Holly and Devin connect to discuss books that feature writers as their protagonists. They review how the protagonists’ writing careers are used as catalysts for plot and for character growth. Publicity and fandom are a major theme across both books, and they end by agreeing that writers as protagonists is only effective when the author of the book itself is adept and not using it to be lazy and “writing what they know” too much. 

    Topics Discussed:

     

     

    • The book featured one of her top 10 sex scenes of 2021; an unusual (and public!) location, a surprising reunion and a release of fantastically pent-up tension.
    • Williams took romance novels to a more literary place by touching on themes of chronic illness, BIPOC struggles in America, and recovering from childhood trauma. 
    • While the main pair are drawn together by chemistry and shared history, the ultimate success of the book is the demonstration of love and lifestyle as a conscious, mature choice. 

     

    • The Dagger (2:14): Holly brought Misery by Stephen King to the table, with Paul Sheldon as the acclaimed author of the Misery series. Her key takeaways were:

     

    • The exploration of addiction was a fascinating throughline of the novel, with Paul being drawn in by painkillers supplied by his captor, Annie, and Annie having an unhealthy relationship to Paul and his series. 
    • Horror is not just jump scares but often disgusting, creepy, and off-putting in less “fear-inducing” ways, but that are more elaborately terrifying. King executes on true horror well in Misery
    • King explores what it means to be a writer, with Paul physically trapped in not just this house, but in a literal chair with the keyboard strapped on top of his lap. 

     

    • Hot On the Shelf (39:30):

     

     

    • What’s Making Our Hearts Race (42:43):

    Episode 37 - Almost Famous

    Episode 37 - Almost Famous
    "I didn't ask for this role, but I'll play it. Now go do your best. Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Goethe said that. It's not too late for you to become a person of substance, Russell. Please get my son home safely. You know, I'm glad we spoke." - Elaine Miller

    Anybody else miss concerts? Summer seems to bring the itch for live music, good friends, and warm air touching your skin. We've been through a long year of concerts being on hiatus due to the pandemic. Almost Famous is a perfect movie to rekindle the love of live music. Many of us have forgotten what it was like when we were teenagers and the bands we loved just seemed to speak directly to our souls. This movie is full of amazing actors, great music, heartfelt moments, and perfect touches of humor. If you haven't seen it in awhile, or are just missing the summer concerts that made your youth worth remembering, listen in on this episode!
