Exposed: The Right Perspective Of Dating 35:13

6d ago35:13

35:13

The concept of dating only began in the early 1900s. But as author Jonathan Pokluda said in his book, Outdated: “Just because modern dating wasn’t really around when the Bible was written doesn’t mean the Bible doesn’t have anything relevant to say about the subject.” And if you are not in that part of life where you are interested in dating, this …

"The Monkey" 33:02

3d ago33:02

33:02

This week, after a long month of lists, recaps, and Oscar nominated heavy hitters, we lighten the mood with the gory, splatter-filled Stephen King adaptation of The Monkey. Oz Perkins' second film in a year, The Monkey stars both Theo James and Christian Convery in dual roles, Tatiana Maslany, Colin O'Brien, Adam Scott, and Elijah Wood. Does Perkin…

Exposed: The Purpose of Sex 38:40

13d ago38:40

38:40

Genesis 1:28a says, "Then God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply.'" Now God could have thought up a million different ways to procreate—but He blessed us with the gift of sex, a gift designed not only to reproduce, but to bring pleasure. And these are pretty much the only two things we ever think about when it comes to sex, making bab…

"The Brutalist" 59:33

15d ago59:33

59:33

It's incredibly easy to overpraise something like Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist just for its degree of difficulty and the unlikelihood of it even existing, but it’s the real deal: a living Great American Novel plucked from time. We sit down and review the three-and-a-half-hour epic - complete with intermission - and discuss its performances, ambitio…

Exposed: The Commitment to Oneness 34:06

20d ago34:06

34:06

Movies, TV shows, and books on romance all seem to teach that "chemistry" is one of the key factors that lead toward success in a relationship. It's how you know you've found “the one", right? Chemistry is a powerful thing. It can make a relationship feel right—and when a relationship feels right—we often believe it is right. And it might be—but ch…

This week we review RaMell Ross's Nickel Boys, an adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel of the same name. The story of two Black boys who form an unshakeable bond at a segregated reform school in the Jim Crow South, Nickel Boys transcends its first person conceit, its Oscar-bait trappings, and the swerve of its twist ending to deliver a major work…

Exposed: The Power of Marriage 36:15

27d ago36:15

36:15

The teaching of Jesus on marriage in Matthew 19 was so clear, so controversial, and so countercultural—His standard for marriage was so high—that even His own disciples, upon hearing Jesus’ teaching and expectations on marriage responded, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry!” (Matthew 19:10) In this message, we address one of the most s…

Exposed: The Purpose of Marriage 39:55

1M ago39:55

39:55

The primary purpose of marriage—according to God through the Apostle Paul—is not to solve our loneliness. It’s not to fulfill some romantic need or desire. It’s not to complete me, and it's not to “find the one". None of those things are bad. Marriage can provide companionship. There is and can definitely be romance and sexual fulfillment. But whil…

Another year of cinema in the rear view as we count down our personal top tens of 2024.

Exposed: Celebrating Singleness 33:45

Singleness is not a season to endure. It’s not something to simply wait out until something better comes along. Singleness can actually be that “something better.” It’s a status to celebrate. What is there to celebrate about singleness? Watch/listen to this message by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness to find out. Blog Post: https://www.theharbor.life/blog…

Exposed: A Single Focus 36:07

2M ago36:07

36:07

Most of us grew up being taught that somewhere out there in the world is one person—we actually call them “the one”—just waiting for me to find them, to “be mine,” love me, kiss me, and be my soul mate. Until I do—until I find “the one”—I will be incomplete. Unfulfilled. I won’t be whole. But have we been focusing on the wrong thing? Watch/listen t…

At 94-years young, Clint Eastwood is still going strong with his latest meat-and-potatoes legal thriller, Juror #2. Featuring a murderers' row of actors and a premise to die for, is Eastwood's latest just a redux of your dad's favorite movie from the mid 90s? Or is there something more than meets the eye?…

Why Should I Trust God? 38:55

2M ago38:55

38:55

Trust. It’s such a simple word yet carries profound weight. Who do you trust completely? Maybe you struggle to answer that question, especially if life has taught you that trust can be broken by those closest to you—friends, family, colleagues, or even yourself. But what about God? If He asked, “Do you trust me?” how would you respond? The truth is…

Happy new year! We ring in 2025 by reviewing podcast favorite filmmaker Robert Eggers' latest historical horror: his grim vision of the vampire classic, Nosferatu. We talk vampires, Dracula, and Eggers' slavish devotion to granular detail. Does it continue his streak of bracing period terror, or is it more of a hindrance this time around? Tune in a…

The message of Good News the angels brought the shepherds was that a new King had arrived—and who had He arrived for? Luke 2:10 says it is for ALL people! It’s a message, screaming from the manger, that Christ came into the world not to be served, but to serve others—all others. This message of Good News had no limits. It was a message of service t…

For better or worse, Bertrand Bonello's The Beast is one of the most memorable movies of 2024. A discombobulating sci-fi trip through time that stars Lea Seydoux and George Mackay, it explodes the kernel of loneliness at the center of Henry James' 1903 novella - The Beast in the Jungle - into something much more...perplexing.…

The Message From The Manger: Strength in Submission 34:12

34:12

At Christmas we celebrate that our omnipresent God entered into space and time as a baby. The Creator – who spoke the world into existence with the breath of His mouth – becomes part of His own creation. The all-powerful, sovereign, and in-control God becomes a helpless child with no control or ability at all, completely dependent on beings He crea…

The Message From The Manger: God is in Control 27:25

3M ago27:25

27:25

This Message From The Manger is a message of sovereignty. Sovereignty means supreme power or authority. In theological terms, it refers to God’s absolute authority and control over all creation. God is never out of control, lacking control, or needing to take control. At all times – and through all things – God has ultimate power and authority over…

Reframing Rest: What Does Jesus Think About the Sabbath? 11:07

3M ago11:07

11:07

In the series Reframing Rest, we’ve learned that the Sabbath is a rhythm, rooted in creation. A reminder of how God rescued us from our slavery to sin, and a gift that God gives us every single week to enjoy for our good. We learned that we stop on the Sabbath to reveal our trust in God, refuel us for the work of God, and refocus us on what we have…

There is no formula to make the Sabbath work for you, but th…

While there is an abundance of historical, psychological, physical, and even scientific and medical evidence of the benefits of taking one day off each week to completely rest, the vast majority of people—especially in our modern Western world—fight against this rhythm that God rooted into creation.
