Disney Trilogy Part 3: The glory days of Disney

In the final chapter of our Disney Trilogy, we step into the glory days — the Renaissance era that gave us The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more. It was a decade of unforgettable music, groundbreaking animation, and cultural dominance that made Disney feel unstoppable.
But what happens when a studio (or any empire) grows too big for its own good? From direct-to-video sequels to mega-franchise acquisitions, we explore how Disney’s growth brought both triumph and trouble — and what that teaches us about pride, purpose, and faith.
Join us as we celebrate Disney’s brightest moments, reflect on the dangers of bigness without depth, and connect it all back to the biblical call to faithfulness over fame.

Disney Trilogy Part 2: The Dark Elements of Disney

Parental Note: This episode explores darker themes and imagery in Disney history. Still family-friendly, but parents may want to preview first.
IT'S OUR 50TH FIRST EPISODE!!!
From graveyard gags to genuine nightmare fuel, Disney has always danced with the dark. In Part 2 of our Disney Trilogy, we trace the macabre thread from early shorts of the early "silly symphonies" of the 1920s all the way through modern Disney.
Why did Disney lean into fear, loss, and moral consequence—and why does it work? We unpack the cultural roots, storytelling purpose, and how these shadows make the light mean more along with some Biblical connection to all of it, and a brief discussion of Halloween. 

Disney Trilogy Part 1: The Disney Afternoon

It was bound to happen. The Geeks are diving into Disney discussion with the Disney Trilogy! Part One takes us back to The Disney Afternoon (1990–1997), that glorious weekday block of animated adventures that defined childhoods. From DuckTales and Gummi Bears to Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, and Goof Troop, we’ll walk through the entire lineup of shows that made after-school TV a magical event.
Chris and Brian share their favorites, debate the Mount Rushmore of Disney Afternoon, and uncover spiritual lessons hidden within these cartoons. Along the way, we’ll see how Disney used stories of treasure, teamwork, and heroism to capture imaginations—and how those themes connect to timeless truths from God’s Word.

Moses....in a boat...on wheels? The Bible kart episode

🚗💨 Moses in a boat… with wheels? You heard that right.
In this chaotic and hilarious episode of Godly Geeks, we imagine what would happen if Bible characters entered the world of Mario Kart. Who’s behind the wheel? What power-ups do they bring? And which biblical hero has the most broken item in the game?
We’re talking Elijah outrunning lightning, Jonah on a whale car, and yes—Moses, parting sea-level hazards in a seaworthy kart. From custom tracks like “Walls of Jericho Circuit” to divine items like the “Loaves & Fishes Multiplier,” this episode is pure Bible geek gold.
Join us for laughs, clever crossovers, and a surprisingly meaningful devotional reminder: run the race to finish well.
