Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we continue our conversation on the Godfather. When we want to take control, what we’re saying we want to take the place of God in our lives. We think that freedom is the ability to do whatever we want, but then we find ourselves slaves to our feelings and our desires. When we turn to God, and submit to him, we actually find a greater freedom than we ever thought possible. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie

Questions

• What decisions have shaped your life?


• Where do you feel like God is the one pulling the strings, and maybe hasn’t done a good job?


• How do you try to take control of the strings of your life?


• When do you feel powerless and helpless, like a puppet on a string? How do you react to that?


• Where is it difficult to relinquish control?
