This week take a glimpse into the profound and controversial world of "Platinum End," brought to life by the creators of "Death Note." Join us as we introduce Mirai, a character who trudges through the depths of despair following a heartbreaking family tragedy. We tackle the rich, layered themes of the series and the theological questions it raises, including, "Does God want us to be happy?"
We juxtapose the ideas of happiness and joy from a Christian lens, critiquing the pitfalls of the prosperity gospel while emphasizing the importance of empathy.
Whether you're an anime aficionado or a theology enthusiast, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights and discussions that you won't want to miss.
