The Inner Light Project

Tune in as we share Christmas favorites in the TV and movie world stemming from our earlier days, and later we dive into the rabbit hole and explore one of the greatest mysteries of the universe; Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie?

Join us as we share our experiences, and spiritual connections to one of the greatest original masterpieces of all time, "Ghostbusters"!  We'll examine what got us into this craze, and our thoughts on how it has impacted our lives as well as our passion for all things pop culture.

Join us as we share the latest in what we've been watching, along with our review and discussion of "The Shawshank Redemption".  Join us as we discuss elements of the movie that inspired each os us, along with the Christian elements we can draw from this film.

There are heroes we need and heroes we deserve.  In this episode we discuss how Joss Whedon's "Justice League" fits neither criteria and how Zach Snyder's version totally redeems the DC franchise.  Doug and Nathan will discuss important elements that tie to the extended comic book universe while Preston will shed light on soundtracks from both versions of "Justice League", and Derrick will share how Zach Snyder used Christian threads to weave this amazing story together.

Here in our 6th installment we discuss the Zack Snyder classic, "Man Of Steel" and toss around our thoughts on the movie as a whole.  Derrick will take us through its Christian connections as we each share how Superman is a significant part of our culture.

We are here in our inaugural episode of "The Inner Light Project" to bring you a round-table discussion of various sci-fi and pop culture elements, all from a Christian perspective.  The name of our podcast is drawn from the Star Trek TNG episode “The Inner Light” from season 5, which is one of the great masterpieces of science fiction writing, and we wish to approach this podcast with the same mindset of Jean-Luc Picard, a character who has always been an iconic form of open-mindedness, curiosity, and moral integrity, while at the same time looking at all of this through the lens of Jesus Christ, who we personally see as our inner light.  We hope you enjoy this first episode as we tackle Star Trek Picard season 1.
