Episode 184: Pop Culture and Faith, 2020 Edition--Part Three, Avatar

As the close out this short series at the intersection of pop culture and faith, pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve talk about the early 2000s series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," and how there can be a lot for grown-ups to learn about life from a show that is ostensibly aimed at kids.  As they look at the fantasy world of this TV show, the three friends around the table look at how we discern the right thing to do, even when the voices around us seem to be giving us bad advice, as well as the importance of taking time and space apart for reflection, contemplation, and critical thinking.  They discover along the way that Jesus, too, often got his bearings by taking time for reflecting in prayer, and that Jesus understood his role as Messiah in ways that broke from everyone else's expectations in his world.  Maybe there's more to learn than first meets the eye from a Nickelodeon cartoon--join us for the conversation here on Crazy Faith Talk!
