This week we allow Clint to geek out over words, language, and their origin. We uncover common terms we may throw around or hear today and where we can see their roots found in scripture. Though all of these are attributed to the bible or Judeo-Christian culture, the origins of some of them are uncertain. But one thing we do know is that there are huge parts of modern languages that only exist because of Christianity. #WelcomeToTheAdventureMedia References:Legend of Korra (TV series)Parks & Recreation (TV series)Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery (Mobile Game)Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Video Game)Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (Video Game)Hollow Knight (Video Game)Metroid (Video Game)Love, Rosie (Movie)Kacey Musgraves (Musician)Disney MusicLord of the Rings Deck Buidling GameSword Art Online (TV series)Challenges: Be concious of the words that you useChoose one or more of these phrases and study their meaningCheck Us OutWebsite TwitterFacebookYoutube

Join us this week as we discuss how Act 1 of the broadway musical Hamilton can teach us to be better Christians.

This movie is jam packed with Christian themes that help us understand the love and sacrifice of Christ as He pursues His Princess Bride; the Church.

Steve re-joins the podcast after a rather long hiatus and he has a lot to say. We use this episode to give him a platform to speak into the theology of loneliness, while Gordon gets him to watch a very strange movie; "Swiss Army Man".

This week we discuss the Documentary 'The Amazing Johnathan' about the Comedian/magician of the same name. From Johnathan's life, we see themes of spiritual emptiness, absence of a father figure, coping mechanisms, and a loss of a sense of purpose which many of us can relate to in our own way. But the documentary takes a turn leaving us wondering, "what's the story they are telling?" #WelcomeToTheAdventureWarning: Several References to drugsMedia References:Mad Men (TV Series) Contains Explicit ContentHave a Good Trip (Documentary)The Dollop (Podcast) Adult Themes and LanguageUncut Gems (Movie)Mountains of Madness (Tabletop Game)GloomHaven (Tabletop Game)Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop RPG)Backstory (Podcast)Myths and Legends (Podcast)Unsolved Murders (Podcast)Lore (Podcast/Amazon Prime Series)The History of Rome (Podcast)The History of Egypt (Podcast)The History of Ancient Greece (Podcast)Community (TV Series)Hardcore History (Podcast)The Amazing Jonathan (Documentary) Not for ChildrenChallenges:Ask yourself the question, "What is the story that I am telling to my family/God/others?"
