Project Hail Mary is more than a survival story. It is about what happens inside a person’s heart. Ryland Grace struggles with regret, anger, and feeling misunderstood. The real question is not about science. It is whether he will let the Lord and life change him for the better. While watching, I kept noticing his last name: Grace. That seems […]

In the 1991 movie What About Bob?, Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) is a bundle of fears, phobias, and neediness. He clings to his therapist, Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss), hoping someone else can steady his life. It’s a comedy—but tucked inside the jokes is a pretty gospel-friendly truth: real change usually comes through small, baby steps, especially when you keep moving […]
