In "An Education," Carey Mulligan plays Jenny, a smart suburban British teen in 1962 yearning for adventure. She thinks she finds it in Peter Skaarsgard's character, David, a dashing man Jenny believes is her ticket to the beautiful life. Rev. Ken Beldon weaves lessons from Kierkegaard, Rumi, and Tal Ben-Shahar as he explores how Jenny learns the value of beauty and why it pales in comparison to true spiritual abundance.

In Chris Nolan's film "Inception," Leonardo DiCaprio's character Cobb hides his guilty subconscious from his fellow band of thieves, putting all of them in mortal danger. Rev. Ken Beldon explains how Ellen Page as Ariadne teaches Cobb (and us) to discover the undiscovered self, stop fighting ourselves, and take a leap of faith.
