Episode 27: Jaws (1975): The Monster Beneath—When comfort hides danger, and courage enters the water.

What happens when danger is buried—and comfort becomes more sacred than truth?

In this episode of Cinematic Scripture, we listen deeply to the story of Jaws—not to extract theology, but to honor the ache it exposes. Beneath the suspense lies a spiritual confrontation: the cost of denial, the silencing of fear, and the courage it takes to name what others ignore. From Brody’s fear of water to the town’s refusal to close the beaches, this story reveals what happens when survival is sacrificed for image—and how the Gospel enters the deep, not to shame fear, but to redeem it.

Explore how Jaws reflects our cultural liturgies, reframes fear as sacred threshold, and invites us to stop protecting systems—and start protecting people. With biblical echoes, cinematic companions, and cultural resonance, this episode helps you see fear not as failure—but as formation. Whether you’re a pastor, educator, or story-shaped disciple, this episode will help you watch attentively, reflect spiritually, and lead from story.
