Fixing Matt’s movie knowledge

2 comments

data-original

As noted in recent episodes of “The Eagle and Child”, my co-host Matt has a pretty dire knowledge of movies. For example, he has only recently been introduced to the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. This Christmas was his first time watching It’s a wonderful life (or “Winter Wonderland” as he insisted on calling it…). Put simply, Matt has had some major flaws in his education…

Since one of the great Spiritual Works of Mercy is “Instructing the ignorant”, I could hardly call myself a good Christian if I didn’t attempt to remedy these serious deficiencies. So, with that, these are my “must-see” movies. The basic rule of thumb I’ve used is: would I judge someone if I found out they hadn’t seen these movies?

Rather than going through a chapter of “Mere Christianity” in this episode, today Matt and I are just going to be chatting about Christmas. You’ll get to hear about our favourite songs, the best presents we’ve received and our treasured Christmas memories. So sit back, pour yourself some eggnog and enjoy!

The Thing I couldn’t Stand About Modesty Talks

2 comments

Hand on heart, there are some parts of the whole chastity movement which I find really annoying. For me, the chief offender here is “the modesty talk”. Now, to be clear, I have heard some excellent talks on modesty. However, I’ve also sat and listened to many which I thought were asinine, prudish and made me roll my eyes until I felt dizzy.

This week I came across this video by Emily Wilson where she expresses similar frustrations. She too gets irritated when the primary reason given for girls dressing modestly is to not lead men to lustful thoughts. She thinks that the primary reason for dressing modestly lies somewhere else…

Emily gets it. Emily dresses classily. Be like Emily.
