Should Content Creators Profit from True Crime? Learning from the Example of Anna Kendrick

This week on Trending, Matt and Pastor Joe explore the cultural fascination with true crime and its ethical dilemmas. Inspired by Anna Kendrick’s new film, Woman of the Hour, they discuss the fine line between storytelling and profiting from tragedy. Kendrick’s decision to donate her profits from the film sparks a deeper conversation about how Christians should earn, spend, and give their money.

Why are we drawn to stories of darkness? Is it possible to grapple with evil without glorifying it? And as we enter a season of giving, how can we better reflect God’s generosity in our lives? Matt and Joe tackle these questions with practical insights and encouragement, reminding us that generosity isn’t just a duty—it’s an honor.
