The Proposal with Paul McDonald and Dustin Oprea

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I talk with Dustin Oprea about the rom-com The Proposal. We live our lives trying to control the narrative that others have for us, but that only makes us slaves to them and the way they think. Freedom is being able to walk in a way that isn’t dependent on how others see you. The easy road involves trying to achieve control, but that way only leads to death. The narrow road is difficult, but we find life at the end. It takes two to make a thing go right, so join me as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Questions

• Is it harder to love someone, or receive love from someone?
• Where are you more comfortable?
• Where are you trying to control your narrative?
