The Faithful Fan, Ep. 406: "The Little Mermaid & a Father Who Listens"
06/07/23 • 16 min
Do you ever desperately wish that someone, anyone, was hearing you? Truly listening, truly seeing you and understanding your point of voice?
Unfortunately we all know what it's like to feel angry, defeated, and backed into a corner. And we see Ariel feel this way too in The Little Mermaid, which leads her down a path of regret with Ursula. But we also see, through King Triton's own character development, his love for her, sacrifice for her, and his path to truly listening to her. His relationship to her is a beautiful shadow of the immense love that God the Father has for each of us, and the sacrifice He willingly gave to have a relationship with us. God hears us, knows us intimately, and is with us every step of the way. Listen in to hear more about The Little Mermaid remake and our gospel connections with it!

The Mandalorian Season 3 was FULL of "I-spy-God" moments, and we want to talk all about them! From baptism by water and fire, to Din Djarin, Bo Katan, and Grogu's teamwork in the season finale (Ecclesiastes 4), this season felt full of faith, hope, strength, and above all else, a solidifying of Bo Katan's motto that Mandalorians are indeed stronger together.
