Top Gun Maverick with Paul McDonald and Andreas Werner (pt 2 of 2)

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we fire all of our rockets and use all of our flares in part 2 of our conversation about Top Gun Maverick. We all have a look that communicates that we are entering territory where we are risking something great, but can’t determine the outcome. How do we handle it when our greatest fears come true? Will we keep fighting, or eject when we run out of options? Thankfully, we have a savior arrive at the last minute who redeems those situations, one who says, “That’s what my dad would’ve done.” Let’s discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions

• When do you get “that look” on your face?
• What situations do you enter in that are out of your control? How do you feel engaging in them?
• What will you do when the worst thing you can imagine happens?
• How will you respond when things get out of control?
• What burden do you carry that isn’t yours to carry?
• What relationship do you need to let go of?
• What are you most afraid of?
• What battles do you find yourself constantly fighting?
• What do you do when you’re out of bullets, missiles, and flares? 
What would it mean for you to eject from the battle?
