Did We Make Up God… or Superheroes? A Cold-Case Detective Investigates

About this sermon

🔍 Are superheroes just modern myths—or are they clues that we were made for something more? In this episode, cold-case detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace digs into the theology of superheroes. We’ll explore how Marvel, DC, and other comic universes keep borrowing the classic attributes of God—omniscience, omnipotence, justice, love, mercy, and “God with us” presence—and stitching them into the heroes we love. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ 👉 In this video you’ll hear about: • Why we crave all-powerful but good heroes • How vigilantes and “avengers” expose our hunger for perfect justice • Why sacrificial heroes move us so deeply • How “friendly neighborhood” heroes point to a God who is close, not distant • Why all of these fragmented attributes find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus If you’ve ever wondered why superhero movies resonate so strongly—or whether they accidentally point to the God of the Bible—this episode is for you. 🎬✝️ 📘 Want to go deeper?
