Choose your Movie

This month, we're giving you the freedom to choose from a few movies. All of these movies have "trailmarkers" that point us toward God's Greater story and our Heroic Journeys. Once you finish your movie, go through the discussion questions together and try to name as many "trailmarkers" as you can.

Now, grab some popcorn, put your phones away, and enjoy your movie of choice. We did not provide the movies this month, but all can be streamed on various platforms. Or go buy a cheap copy from a $5 Walmart bin. :)

Here are your options this month:

1. Prince of Egypt
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
3. Last Knights (More mature movie. Dad, please research content before watching.)
4. Kingdom of Heaven (More mature movie. Dad, please research content before watching.)
