We've only got one more week of At The Movies — time flies when you're having fun, as they say! Brook is on vacation with his family, and the legendary Tanner Hodges is back to host this week's episode. He and Loren discuss hostile monkeys in Japan and how Tanner still owes Shelby a good honeymoon. They also review a few biblical thoughts on the Disney film, Encanto, and how we can reframe how we see our gifts and weaknesses. Finally, Tanner brings a timely, much-needed invitation to dream again. Links From The Episode At The Movies Week 4 Replay The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen Did you miss Sunday?
