Bryne and JR. welcome Jessica Haas to discuss several recent events that illuminate the continuing problem of rape culture. We investigate the systemic elements of institutionalized misogyny, and question how we who are privileged can contribute meaningfully to a healthy culture of consent.
Bryne and JR. are joined by Clay Morgan of the StoryMen and Mikey Fissel of Reel World Theology to conduct a panel at the Baylor IFL Conference on Faith and Film. We explore the nature of possession films, and what they say about the Church and contemporary spirituality. A Q&A follows.
