Episode 391: Tombstone
The hosts saddle up a pale horse and head West to bring a reckoning to the classic 1993 Western: Tombstone. With guns blazing, we explore the themes woven into the story of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the showdown at the O.K. Corral. From justice and reckoning to loyalty and friendship, Tombstone offers more than just cowboy bravado. We unpack Ringo’s haunting line from Revelation and how God uses instruments in his reckoning. We also take a closer look at Wyatt and Doc’s powerful friendship and what true friendship looks like through a biblical lens. Be our Huckleberry and join us as we examine this iconic Western from a Christian worldview. Watch the episode .
