Watch this. Three minutes. Then three questions below it.
Herb Brooks runs his team until they collapse after a loss. Then he runs them again. He is not punishing them. He is redeeming wasted time.
You don't have a time problem. You have a priority problem. Your time goes exactly where your values actually are.
The real cost of wasted time is what should have been built in that time, in your marriage, your children, your faith.
Miracle is the film at the center of this study. The scene is chosen because it captures something true about the specific challenge this study addresses. The filmmakers may not have intended a theological reading, but the truth they captured is there regardless of intention.
Ephesians 5:15-17 sits inside a larger argument Paul or one of the other biblical authors is making about how the renewed life looks in practice. The verse is not a standalone principle. It is part of a sustained argument about what it looks like when a man actually believes what he says he believes on Sunday morning.
The connection between this film and this Scripture is the same one that runs through every study in this series: what a man sees in the mirror when he watches that clip is exactly the gap this Scripture addresses. The film names the problem. The Scripture names the source and the solution.
