Room: Love in an Overwhelming World (1 John 4:18)

In Room, five-year-old Jack has spent his entire life in captivity—a small shed his mother calls "Room." When they escape into the real world, the world terrifies him. Everything is too big, too bright, too much. But his mother's love anchors him. Slowly, love makes the overwhelming world feel safe. "Perfect love casts out fear." Jack fears what he doesn't understand; his mother's consistent presence teaches him he's not alone. We emerge from small rooms into vast worlds—from comfortable faith into complex reality. Love doesn't make the world less overwhelming; it makes us less alone in facing it.
