About this listen

What do superheroes, sacrifice, and spiritual storytelling have in common? On this episode of WebbChat, host Noel T. Manning II is joined by Dr. Robert Prickett, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Josh Parrott, University Chaplain and VP for Christian Life and Service, for a thoughtful dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through the lens of faith and humanity.

From Iron Man’s redemption arc to Spider-Man’s ethical mantra, and from Thanos’ twisted pursuit of justice to the Avengers’ chosen-family bond, this conversation explores the theological threads woven through blockbuster storytelling. Together, the trio considers how pop culture can open the door for deeper discussions about God, grace, responsibility, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.

🎧 Whether you're a Marvel superfan or just curious about how film and faith connect, this episode will give you plenty to reflect on.

🎶 Music for WebbChat composed by Christian Jessup.
