| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, it's Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast, and I got a movie thing that I want to tell you about, but I'm not going to tell you the name of the movie, because if you haven't seen the movie, then I don't want to ruin it for you because it's one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. I really loved it. And if you already, if you know, you're going to know, but if you don't know, then you'll know when you're watching the movie. I'm like, that was from the Bible program. I heard about this show. This scene that I'm about to |
| 0:41.7 | describe to you is the scene that destroyed me harder than any scene ever that I've ever |
| 0:47.8 | witnessed in writing, in TV, in film, anything. This is the most emotionally heavy thing I've |
| 0:54.1 | ever seen. As many of you know, |
| 0:56.7 | I'm a dad. I have a son, and I have two little girls. I call them little girls. They're getting to be a |
| 1:02.5 | bit grown up now. My heart is so soft for all of them, but it's soft in a unique way for my daughters. |
| 1:09.8 | In so many ways, they taught me what love is and anything that deals with that precious bond |
| 1:15.8 | between a dad and his little girl in film. |
| 1:19.4 | It's immediately through my emotional armor, right? |
| 1:22.2 | In this scene, there's this intrepid space explorer who goes on a mission, and save Earth, he has to go, |
| 1:30.4 | but he has a daughter, he has to leave back home. And it's a long mission, but not a forever mission. |
| 1:35.8 | That's very hard to watch them say goodbye. Then what happens is this guy goes to this planet, |
| 1:42.0 | and out there, time moves different on this place that they |
| 1:45.0 | have to go to. And he's on the away team to go down to the surface of this planet. And he knows |
| 1:49.5 | that he can only be there for just this very brief window of time to get what they got to get or |
| 1:55.4 | whatever. And a lot of time is going to elapse in his life, in his world. But if he's in and out quick, like 90 seconds or whatever it is, it'll be okay. It won't be that big of a loss of time. But then something happens on the surface of the planet and they have to wait a whole cycle to get another window, another opportunity to get off the planet. I don't even know if I'm getting the details exactly right because I can't watch the show a second time. I've only seen it the one time in theaters where I sobbed like a baby |
| 2:23.1 | uncontrollably over this scene. The guy, you know, he knows what just happened. He knows that because |
| 2:29.2 | of that incident on the surface and having to wait another cycle, he just missed his daughter's |
| 2:33.3 | entire life. |
| 2:35.5 | He will stay young because time is passing differently for him, but her whole life is going to |
| 2:40.7 | fly by. He's going to miss like everything. And he gets off the planet and they start to return |
| 2:45.3 | trip home. And he starts to get all the messages that she sent. And the messages are her whole life. |
