Welcome to a bonus episode of the Think Biblical podcast.

Normally on Fridays, we have our weekly cultural update, but we're taking July off,

and I'm posting one of my favorite conversations from my YouTube channel, really ever.

And here's why.

It's with Rob Leifeld, who is one of the most influential comic creators and artists. He's actually the creator

of the character, Deadpool, all the way back in a comic in the 90s that, of course, was

turned into a movie. Now, some people right away think, wait a minute, Deadpool character,

the creator, Rob is a Christian. He's been going to a church that I've spoken at for years and decades.

Now, of course, some are you thinking, how do you reconcile a character like Deadpool with being a Christian?

Well, you're asking exactly the right question.

Rob and I sat down for about 90 minutes.

Now, keep in mind, he's a comic artist.

He's not a professional debater or a theologian. I was just asking him questions about his love and his craft. And I had a conversation with students years ago where I just asked a question, can a Christian watch Deadpool? So I asked that to Rob to get his take and he went back and forth for a while.

Here's my hope with this.

You might agree with some of the takes.

You might disagree.

But this is a wonderful opportunity to have a conversation with a non-Christian, with a Christian, and just say, what do you think?

What's your take?

Where do you land?

I think you're going to enjoy this unique bonus episode of the Think Piblically podcast where I talk

with Rob Liefeld. Enjoy. Rob, I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I pulled my boys out

of school. They wanted to meet you. I have here. I have kept from 1991 the first appearance of Deadpool. I bought it off the stands.
