GODFLIX 2: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Jeremy Gustafson) Aug. 14

Star Wars: The Force Awakens leaves aspiring Jedi on Earth wishing the Force could be real. “I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful force controlling everything.” (Han Solo) But what if the Force actually is, in some sense, real? What if God helps us shape our futures? What if the Holy Spirit we hear churches talking about isn’t some guy dressed up in a hole-y sheet on Halloween, but a guiding force that we can choose to let influence our day-to-day decisions? This is where the science fiction of Star Wars collides (forcefully) with my theological reality. “It’s true. All of it.” (Han Solo)
