Today we're discussing Sam Smith and Kim Petras' Grammys performance, which featured blatant satanic imagery including Smith dressing up as the devil, Petras dancing in a cage, and dominatrices wearing satanic headgear. We take a look at what their inspiration was for the performance (hint: it's ridiculous) and why it's yet another example of Hollywood's obsession with satanic imagery. We talk about how, while this blatant satanic worship is worrying, it's not the biggest concern we should be focused on. False gospel teachers and those influencing our children are an even greater threat to our worldview. We also discuss the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. last week until it was shot down a few days ago. We look at some of the theories about the balloon and just how concerned we should be.
