3. The Shack (2017) – Where Your Small Group Will Split Down the Middle
Search terms: “Is The Shack biblically accurate?” “The Shack controversy explained”
When our Bible study watched this adaptation of William Paul Young’s novel, Karen (yes, that Karen) nearly spilled her kombucha arguing about the Trinity’s portrayal. Here’s my take: If you want clean-cut theology, rewatch The Bible Project. But if you’ve ever ugly-sobbed in a Walmart parking lot asking “Where was God when ___?”—this movie’s raw exploration of grief hits different.
Controversy Alert: Skip if metaphors make you twitchy.
Best Scene: God’s kitchen confessionals. Imagine Ina Garten meets the Book of Job.
