"When we invest in each other, we determine our future." This is a deeply reflective line near the conclusion of the PureFlix film “Discarded Things” released last year. I have had on-and-off subscriptions to PureFlix, but the trailer for this movie kept popping up in the YouTube commercials in between listening to my gospel mixes. Yes, I patiently endure the YouTube ads since I feel that I am already paying enough for my other streaming platforms. If I’m not vigilant with my dollars, all these streaming subscriptions could end up mirroring my past cable bill. But I was drawn to “Discarded Things” because of its major theme of restoration from brokenness, the miracle in how God refines what others deem as waste.
