Topics:\xa0
- Chris Staron tells us about Truce Podcast, his award-winning Christian show about how the Christian church has gotten where it is, and how it can do better.\xa0
- Melvin relives some library/Blockbuster nostalgia with rewatching Ernest Scared Stupid.\xa0
- Introducing Ernest Scared Stupid [13:31]\xa0
- Melvin felt Ernest Scared Stupid's comedy is pretty good. The kind of comedy you talk about after the fact rather than laugh about in the moment.\xa0
- Ernest movies are comfy. They're easy to digest and remind viewers of simpler times.\xa0
- It's a shame that comedy is often regarded as low-brow or low-tier to the general public in terms of performative arts when comedy requires a wealth of talent and brilliance to pull off.\xa0
- Discussing the concept of fear for children and Christians.\xa0
- Chris Staron does some biblical gymnastics to correlate Ernest Scared Stupid to scriptural parallels. Hope you brought yoga pants!\xa0
- Ernest Scared Stupid still fits the bill of "kids on bikes save the day" even if Ernest is, like, 50 years old.\xa0
- Fear is not a juvenile emotion. Fear is not a sign of immaturity. Fear is healthy, useful, fun, and complicated.\xa0
