Welcome to Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch. This week we forego our typical interview and review the seminary film Godly Sorrow starring Aaron Eckhart with non-LDS comedian Thomas Ouellette. Thomas is part of comedy team Icky Pep and sketch group Edgemont. Godly Sorrow is intended to teach the principle that there is a difference between worldly sorrow (social implications of sin) and godly sorrow (eternal implications of sin/the deep knowledge that you have offended God). It begins with a Bishop's interview, and, well, you should watch it for yourself. Youtube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYHVabpvQc This might only be half of the video! Please send us a link to the full version if you can at celestialsexpodcast@gmail.com You can see Edgemont's videos and Thomas's face at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CealTma3V_I
