Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we embark on our mission to explore the 2009 movie, Star Trek. In Spock and Kirk, we see the tension between two ways we deal with our own emotions. Spock tries to stuff and control his feelings, while Kirk embraces and lives for them. Both pursuits are flawed, and we need to understand two things. It’s okay to feel, and we were made for more. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
