Short-form sermon clips, podcasts, and documentaries are more accessible than ever—but what happens when Christians consume media about the Bible instead of the Bible itself? Craig Dehut, cinematographer, editor, and co-founder of Appian Media, is on Christianity Without Compromise with host Jake Doberenz to discuss how digital content should supplement—not replace—scripture. This episode confronts the growing reliance on Christian media and explores how it can unintentionally derail spiritual growth. If you care about Christian faith, discipleship, and resisting the pull of technology in the digital age, this conversation is for you.
