Hello there! Welcome to the Eighth Episode of Tales of the Force. Joining me today is John!

John was born in Columbus, Ohio, but spent his formative years as a missionary. Kid in the European country of Estonia. The father of five, one of his proudest parenting achievements is keeping his oldest son from finding out that Darth Vader is Luke’s father, before he saw the empire strikes back. John is the host of Two Geek Soup, a podcast that looks at geek culture from a Christian perspective. 

Don’t forget this is John’s personal story. It is not my place on the show to dismiss, diminish, judge, or have an opinion on his story. Any views, thoughts, or opinions expressed are his own. Any comments on this episode and story are expected to be respectful. 

General reminder. Star Wars is a story that deals with hopeful themes, but also touches on things like war, death, loss, slavery and oppression, trauma, mental health issues, personal injury, abandonment, pregnancy and child birth. You are advised to refrain from watching or listening to the YouTube Channel or Podcast if you are likely to be offended or adversely impacted by any of these topics. As always, please take care of yourself and reach out to someone you trust if needed. 

In this episode, we also do cover John’s spirituality and his journey through his faith as it relates to Star Wars.
