#121 – Manchester by the Sea and Agents of Grace

January 2, 2017Mikey Fissel Drama, podcast, RWT0

On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast:

There is plenty of awards buzz about this one– and rightfully so– including various acting nods for Casey Affleck and even Best Picture chatter. We talk about what struck us in this film that confronts the lingering pain and suffering of a man who has lost it all. What does the Gospel tell us about suffering and how do we engage those who are going through it?
