In this episode, we explore how Christians should approach entertainment, focusing on content rather than secular rating systems. We share personal stories, biblical principles, and practical tools for discerning what aligns with Philippians 4:8: dwelling on what is true, honorable, and pure. From avoiding harmful influences to setting Godly examples for our children, we unpack a framework for making wise decisions about movies and media.

We also touch on how to navigate past mistakes and cultivate a home centered on Christ, guiding our families with wisdom and grace. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on maintaining holiness in a media-saturated world!
