354: The Sandlot

The Patron Saints of Popcorn Theology hit a home run this week by voting for the beloved summer classic, The Sandlot. This often silly coming-of-age tale may surprise you with its existential and theological depth. On this episode Eric and Miles discuss the blessedness of friendship, the Christ figure at the center of the movie, and how the journey of Scotty Smalls mirrors the Christian life; from lost to convert and from convert to disciple maker.
