Join Ron and John as they discuss three topics that, believe it or not, are completely interconnected. Spider-Man, Disney's The Lion King, and the 19th chapter of Leviticus.

Both Ron and John are self-proclaimed comics and movie nerds, so this dialogue is right up their alley. But what's really exciting is how they weave those two topics into the central themes of Generation Spark: understanding your identity and living into it.

It's a really fun conversation, and we're so grateful that you're taking the time to listen!
