This weekend in our At the Movies series, we looked at themes of identity, endurance, and fighting for what matters most through the story of Creed. In this episode, Chad and Robert talk about what it means to keep going when life punches back, and how God meets us in the ring. They explore how the gospel shapes our identity, gives us strength we didn’t know we had, and reminds us that we never fight alone.
