And this is why people love movies because they know that we live in a world that just isn't right, that there's something wrong with this world, and we all long for someone to come and take us from this world into the so-called promised land.

Hansolow came to that because he saw evidence. Hansolow didn't have to be he didn't believe because of the stories that he was told. He didn't believe because of I witness accounts or legends. It was when he had sufficient evidence shown to him.

Exciting show for you today. We're asking our Star Wars and superhero films a gateway to the gospel. Christian Apologist Frank Turek joins me on the show to talk about his new book.

He's authored with his son, Hollywood Heroes, and how our favourite movies, from Avengers to Harry Potter to Star Wars and more, reveal God. He argues that all of these fictional stories of good versus evil, promise savior, sacrifice and redemption, actually point to the true story of Jesus, the ultimate hero.

In conversation with Frank is ex-Christian Paul Ns who runs a counter apologetics YouTube channel called Paul Oji. He's been on the show before. Paul's been a long time comic and movie fan and even worked behind the scenes in 1999 for Lucasfilm on the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
