Talking about Bruno...
We are sitting down to talk about Bruno, and the other characters in the movie "Encanto."
We are sitting down to talk about Bruno, and the other characters in the movie "Encanto." There's several spoilers in this episode, but we wanted to dig into some of the redemptive themes of this movie, as it can be a great starting point to have conversations (even with little ones!) about faith.
We talk about how the miracle starts when a life is laid down to save the family. The miracle gifts the family with supernatural gifts for the purpose of blessing the community.
But there is trauma involved, and the family feels like they have to keep the miracle strong, and it starts to warp their identity, and their understanding of the free gift.
The striving for perfection for the family comes from a place of trauma and fear, and blinds them from understanding the concept of a free gift. Sound familiar? We thought so too.
This month we are asking all of our listeners to rate and review our podcast on Apple podcasts, if you have not already. It helps so much.
We'd also like to invite you to the Here We Still Stand Regional Conference in Arkansas coming in April. Register HERE!
