This episode is about the battleground most of us never even realize we’re fighting on: the content we consume.

That’s right. What you feed your soul matters. Movies, music, social media, every headline, every lyric, every “harmless” show, seeds your heart with life or death. And guess what? Garbage in, garbage out. You can’t binge the world’s poison and expect to bear holy fruit.

The world says, “It’s just entertainment.” Jesus says, “Above all else, guard your heart” (Proverbs 4:23). The stakes? Nothing less than your eternity.

Will you keep feasting at Hollywood’s table, or push back and hunger for the Bread of Life?
This isn’t a call for comfort—it’s a call to spiritual arms. War is raging. What will you do?

Buckle up. This one’s raw, real, and 100% rooted in truth.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." –Romans 12:2

Episode Highlights:

05:24 - You can't marinate in the world's and then expect to live as a citizen of heaven, period. If your playlist glorifies promiscuity, violence, and greed don't be shocked if you start finding those things appealing. If your favorite shows make adultery, profanity or drunkenness seem normal, don't be shocked when you start seeing sin as no big deal. Romans chapter 12, verse 2 tells us plainly, do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And yet, despite what I just read, most of us are discipled more by Hollywood than the Holy Spirit.

09:31 - I'm going to challenge you to evaluate your media diet as seriously as you evaluate your physical diet. And I'm going to push you to make radical countercultural choices because your soul is on the line. Eternity is on the line. Friends, we can't flirt with the world and be faithful to Christ. It's either one or the other. It's light or darkness. It's truth or lies. And the battleground is what you allow into your heart and mind every single day.

13:53 - Disney, Netflix, Spotify, TikTok. They're the new Sunday school teachers. They're catechizing your kids. They're teaching your family what to believe about love, sex, gender, success and happiness. Look at the Marvel and DC universes. Every blockbuster is laced with moral relativism, subtle jabs at biblical truth and celebrations of self over God. Heck, look at the Grammys if you still watch that crap. Performances like Sam Smith satanic themed act in 2023 weren't even hiding this agenda anymore. Look at TikTok influencers glorifying vanity, promiscuity and rebellion while racking up millions and millions of followers. If you think I'm exaggerating, ask yourself why does the average Christian family know more about Taylor Swift's tour schedule than they do about the missionary journeys of Paul? Why can your teenager quote every Marvel superhero but not a single verse from Proverbs? Because we are being discipled not by Christ, but by culture.
