Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I talk with Troy and Stacy Hooker about the Bourne Identity. This movie reveals two of our greatest desires: to discover who we are and to be really good at something. Even though Jason couldn’t remember his past, his actions revealed his true identity. If we stay here, we die. Join me on the journey as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions

What things are you good at? No need for false humility—where do you walk in confidence?
When have you been motivated by pride and done things you normally wouldn’t do?
In what ways are you dangerous?
What identity do your choices reveal?
How does doubt and shame attack you in vulnerable moments?

About Troy and Stacy

As followers of Jesus and former teachers, Troy and Stacy Hooker founded Descendant Publishing in 2019 with the vision of producing epic fiction and fantasy books and media for youth and adults. With the books they publish, they also aim to provide creative companion workbooks to help readers increase their literacy skills.

Aside from taking on the role of managing editor for Descendant Publishing, Troy is also the author of the Descendants of Light series, a young adult fantasy epic trilogy about a boy that discovers that he has been given the gift of light to fight against dark beings from another world. Troy also has a new series coming out this year called "The Demon Tide," and hopes that books one and two will be available by fall.

Stacy is the design editor for Descendant Publishing, and also manages an Etsy shop of handmade items and zero-waste kitchen goods.

They love the outdoors and often seek God in the quieter places of life. You can find Troy and Stacy traveling in their converted school bus, searching for elusive mushrooms or quiet beaches in the woods of Michigan.
