In this episode of Missing God, joining me is my friend Dora Sison for a conversation about the Netflix original movie, The Starling. Dora is most importantly a wife to her husband Phil and and mother to her son, Gavin. She and Phil teach Zumba together, sing together at the Sunday evening Mass, and are leaders of a Saturday morning small group for high school youth at St. Clement of Rome Church in Metairie, LA. As if all of that doesn't keep her busy enough, Dora works as the creative director for Georges Media, which is a news media outlet comprised of The Advocate, The Times Picayune, and Gambit Weekly. Dora and I discuss The Starling, a Netflix original movie that realistically depicts the conflict and struggles that can surface in marriages when tragedy and suffering occur, but also how new life, resurrection, joy and peace can emerge in the midst of the messiness of life. In our discussion, Dora shares her own unique insights as a wife and mother, and we somehow manage to make connections to the Church, accompaniment, compassion, and relationships, covering a wide variety of topics that reach far outside the structure of just marriage itself. Essentially, I think our conversation points to the truth of how even flawed and imperfect marriages are meant to be an image of the love that God has for us, and ultimately, how God expresses Himself to us in and through our relationships. This movie is pretty complex and has so many layers that we couldn't possibly cover in one episode. I do recommend watching before listening to avoid spoilers, and so that you can come to your own insights and reflections. Thanks for listening and have a blessed day!
