In PART 3 of a four-part Christmas series, Pastor Adam Martin and host Joey Svendsen talk about the 1990s Christmas movie that took American culture by storm—Home Alone. Pastor Adam has a doctorate in counseling and in today’s episode, Joey asks him several questions surrounding mental health and Adam delves into why social isolation is so common in the real world. With more and more people finding themselves alone—even during the holidays—Adam explains why some choose isolation rather than being hurt in relationships again.
At the top of the episode, the host crew discusses "silly violence" in movies like Home Alone and in cartoons like Tom & Jerry, contrasting them with disturbing violence in video games like Grand Theft Auto.
