Two of the most common explanations for why Friday 13th is unlucky both relate to Christianity. We’ll look at both of them. It involves fun Christian history to include the Crusades, The Knights Templar, charges of heresy, holy relics, and banking. The other explanation involves the twelve disciples plus Jesus (13) and Good Friday.

X-Men the animated series is the starting pointing for the new show from Disney's X-Men'97. We’ll be looking at two episodes that heavily feature Nightcrawler from Marvel comics. A devout Catholic and one of the few mainline explicitly Christian superheroes. Take a look at what all he says about God’s family, blessings, forgiveness, and the problem of evil. Also we get hear Wolverine read some scripture from Isaiah.

Part 2 of 2 on Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first Indiana Jones movie. I will compare the movie’s and the bible’s representation of how the ark of the covenant looked and what it was for. Examining a biblical instance of the ark being captured by a evil foreign power, and scriptural instances of people actually dying from their interaction with the ark. A Jewish ritual from the movie, and looking at some imagery in the movie when they open the ark including its use of smoke, fire and lighting. I recommend listening to part 1 (episode 2) first but it is not necessary to follow along.
