To celebrate the release of 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' we’ve just dropped our ‘God in Springsteen’ bonus episode, previously only available to our Patreon patrons. In it, I hear from film critic and super fan, Andy Godfrey who talks us through his enduring love of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band. We chart Bruce’s faith from growing up in the shadow of the Catholic church all the way to arguably his most spiritual song, ‘The Rising’. We’ll be looking at his background, what his music has to say about Jesus, and asking; what can an agnostic teach us about our faith?

Finding the Faith in the Film begins at 23:49.

In keep with our little tradition for our Easter special, we’ll be looking at season 4 of 'The Chosen'. The first multi-series depiction of the life of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of his followers. We're joined by regular contributor and First Lady of God In Film, Claire Gough, as we look at how to deal with grief when Jesus doesn't heal someone, which character Julia finds the hottest, and what was Judas' fatal flaw?

Finding the faith in the film begins at 17:14.
