New Year, New View... this month, we're exploring films that remade, and improved on, the original. James and David… if they really ARE who they say they are… examine the John Carpenter classic THE THING in this legacy episode from 2019. Fear, paranoia and mistrust emerge as key themes, as well as the loss of our own identity. They are joined this week by Kathryn Harleman as Richard has inexplicably gone missing… (cue ominous music).

Institutes of Theology Countryside Bible Church Equipping God's People in God's Truth Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance!
