This month’s edition of Bible+PopCulture asks, “What is Reality?” What is it, and how do we know? In a world shaped by perspective, culture, and competing truths, we’re left asking: Is reality something we define, or something God reveals? As we navigate what feels real, this edition invites us to consider what is ultimately true—and how knowing God reshapes the way we see everything. These questions brought to mind the Disney+ series Loki (2021-2023), a mind-bending exploration of what’s real. In the show’s opening episode, “Burdened with Glorious Purpose,” Loki, the god of mischief, finds himself out of time and place after jumping from the Battle of New York with the Tesseract in 2012 to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia in an unknown year. There, he is arrested for being out of his timeline, which, in the TVA's (Time Variance Authority) words, makes him a “Variant.”
