In this episode of Practically Christian, hosts Luke and Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera dive into Emma. (2020), a visually stunning and delightfully sharp adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel. On the surface, it’s a story of romance and matchmaking, but beneath the charm and wit lies a deeper exploration of love, friendship, and the hard truths that lead to real growth.
Join us as we unpack the spiritual and relational lessons hidden in Emma.—from Mr. Knightley’s brutally honest love to the way our friendships either sharpen us or lead us astray. Why is it so hard to tell the truth when it might hurt someone? How do we know if our friendships are pushing us toward Christ or just feeding our ego? And how do we recognize the difference between real love and the idea of love?
Plus, we wrap up with a fun get-to-know-you question: What’s your most embarrassing dating moment?
Don’t miss part two, where we tackle pride, control, and why Emma just can’t stop playing matchmaker!
🎧 Listen now and let’s get practically Christian about love, friendship, and growth!
