“Not of This World” Podcast

jamesdonvito — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 00:09:35 +0000

Seeking to share God’s amazing works in his life, James has created a podcast discussing biblical themes in science fiction. He believes the success of sci-fi is rooted in it’s spiritual themes that our hearts were hard wired by God to receive.

Star Wars, The Matrix, Avatar, Star Trek and many other Sci-Fi favorites often contain themes of God and spirituality which make for great storytelling. But are these just themes of fiction or is there something more than just a good story?

Can it be that the success of these films is due to their speaking of concepts we are created to connect with on a spiritual level? Listen to the podcast as we compare, contrast, and debate biblical themes throughout popular science fiction!
