(This episode is rated 16+, best-suited for audiences 16 years and older, as it discusses sex in the context of an ending romantic relationship. This content begins around the 45 minute mark. The Speech Guys pondered General Lee's model for being a good loser in war. But what about being a loser in love? Chuck Noland is the speech-giver from the 2000 film, Castaway, directed by Robert Zemeckis. Mike, Matt, Landon, and Ross are the speech-thinkers in the second installment of the "Speeches By Losers" series. Some nuggets to look out for in this episode... "Is the end of permanent vows the end of cool love stories?" --Matt Why Castaway is first and foremost a love story, not a survival story... --Landon "Providence is a more liberating notion than destiny. Destiny is enslavement--being bound to something inescapable. Providence is agency and grace together." --Mike Why Noland's survival ordeal is a model for perfecting the call to do ordinary work perfectly and being receptive to grace... --Mike "It's too easy to leave a trail of wounded people behind in our pursuit of a partner." --Matt, quoting an online article (The URL is posted below from "Desiring God".)
