Brokenness and Change in Avatar: the Last Airbender and My Hero Academia

Allison Franklin-Jordan again joins host Cindy Collins Smith - this time to discuss sin, choice, and change in two works that illustrate vividly how one person’s actions can change the world for good or ill. Iroh’s and Zuko’s repentance in Avatar: the Last Airbender transforms the Fire Nation from following an ideology of conquest to following a path of redemption and peace, while the abusive father’s repentance in My Hero Academia cannot undo the hatred that consumes and destroys his son. This episode delves into the cascading effects that our actions have on others… and our own need to live lives of repentance and see the Image of God in our fellows.
