Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I talk with Dustin Oprea about The Guardian. We look at the main character, Ben, as someone we could become—an initiated man who allows his marriage to drown because he focuses on rescuing others. He doesn’t focus on how many people he saved, but is haunted by the ghosts of those he didn’t save. We see a man whose calling is motivated by fear, which causes him to hurt the people that matter most. Don’t let go, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie.
