Discussion – “Bank of Dave” Movie
From time to time, we find a really good movie that helps illustrate God’s way of business, economy and the Storehouse. One such movie is Mully. Another is It’s a Wonderful Life with George Bailey.
Here is another one! Bridgette found this one night for something for us to watch, and I really felt it was God-sent along the lines of what the scriptures teach about helping people and lending to those in need as a form of giving them a hand-up instead of just a hand-out.
It is not a Christian movie, but a movie about what a community can do if they are willing to think outside-the-box of banking and the regulatory regime / corporate bank and finance co’s who exploit or ignore the poor, avoid the gospel, and enslave people to debt.
Instead, Dave the scrappy rags-to-riches businessman keeps it personal, local and caring. Based on a true story.
If you have a chance, have a watch and join us tomorrow. Brings up all sorts of ideas and questions. Truely a “feel good movie.”
