Food Glorious Food

Stories about "Holy Runaways" with Guest Matthias Roberts
Stories are our way of making light and we live in such a fortunate time that is rich with stories illuminating our TV and movie screens. So let’s make some light today.  My guest for this episode is therapist, theologian and author Matthias Roberts whose book Holy Runaways: Rediscovering Faith After Being Burned by Religion just released earlier this year.  We each picked 4 movies and/or TV shows about our favority holy runaways--the outcasts, the fed-up, the spiritually displaced--who reimagine what life can be when we love ourselves! Matthias Picks: Leaning Into the Wind; Rivers and Tides; Confessions of a Shopaholic; Song of the Sea; and, The Way He Looks My Picks: Unorthodox; Queer Eye; The Last Kingdom; and, The Gospel According to André. My Guilty Pleasure this week was: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (a bunch of holy runaways but where are they running to?) Bonus Picks: Pose and Midnight Mass Do you have a movie/TV show that sounds like that? What's good that you've watched and think that other "holy runaways" would enjoy too? Let me know. Find this episode on the Black Eyed Stories newsletter and leave your recommendations in the comments section. You'll find trailers for both Matthias and my picks there as well. And, you don't even need to be a subscriber! But by golly, new subscribers (both paid and free) are much appreciated.
