Join us as we continue our conversation about disagreeing well and dive in to the topic of listening!

It feels as if we're living in a time when people have lost the ability to discuss something, disagree about it, and still walk away as friends. How can we, as followers of Jesus, relearn the lost art of disagreeing well?

Furthermore, what does it look like to be convince-able but not gullible? Join hosts Jake Silvera and Luke and Janelle Heirendt for this important conversation.

In this final episode of our Faith and Film series (and our second discussing Emma) Practically Christian hosts Luke and Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera explore the deeper spiritual themes of pride, discipleship, and the illusion of control. Emma Woodhouse may be charming and clever, but her need to orchestrate other people’s lives reveals a problem many of us share: we trust our plans more than God’s.

Why do we struggle to see our own faults clearly? What does healthy discipleship look like when you're mentoring someone with less experience or faith maturity? And when—if ever—is it okay to play matchmaker?

• Pride, Repentance & Self-Awareness – Why growth begins with seeing ourselves clearly
• Mentoring Without Controlling – The difference between guiding someone and playing God
• Playing Matchmaker – The illusion of control and the freedom of trusting God’s plan

We close with a fun question: Have you ever set someone up on a date—and how did it go?

Tune in for practical theology, relatable laughs, and an honest look at what Austen’s classic has to teach us about spiritual growth and letting go.
