Kingdom Influence Media

But over time, I started noticing something completely different. Instead of feeling like I was opening a news app, it started feeling more like I was opening another version of Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. I'm seeing videos, jokes, people posing in front of cameras, viral content, arguments, and things that really don't tell me anything about what is happening in my community. My question is simple: If I wanted that type of content, why wouldn't I just go to YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok? When I open something called NewsBreak, I expect the news.Another thing that really bothers me is what happened with the contributors. There was a time when NewsBreak had some really good writers. These were people who actually took time to write stories, talk about issues affecting different communities, and bring attention to subjects that people weren't necessarily hearing about from larger media outlets. You had writers discussing community issues, health topics, Black communities, LGBTQ issues, and many other subjects. Whether you agreed with every writer or not, at least people were writing and bringing conversations to the table.That's why I don't understand how you can move away from people who were actually producing written content and then fill people's feeds with videos that sometimes have very little to do with actual journalism. I'm not saying NewsBreak doesn't have legitimate news anymore because it does. My issue is what seems to be getting pushed and promoted. There is a difference between having entertainment somewhere on your platform and allowing entertainment-style content to become so dominant that people start questioning what kind of platform they're even using.

The Bible also shows us just how important and serious marriage is. Genesis 2:24 describes a husband and wife becoming one flesh. Matthew 19:6 says, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Marriage is not supposed to be treated as something temporary that we jump into because everything feels perfect right now. It is a covenant and a commitment, which is exactly why we should seek GOD before entering into it.Ephesians 5:25 also tells husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. That is a powerful standard for marriage. Biblical marriage involves love, sacrifice, commitment, patience, respect, and responsibility. 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 teaches that love is patient and kind and is not selfish or easily angered. Those qualities take time to observe in another person. Anyone can tell you they love you, but over time you begin to see what that person's definition of love actually looks like through their behavior.Young people should never feel like they have to rush into marriage because everyone around them is getting married or because they are afraid of losing someone. If that relationship is truly meant for you, giving it time to grow should not destroy it. Allow GOD to lead you. Pray about the person. Pay attention to their character. Listen when GOD gives you a warning. Do not ignore red flags just because you love somebody. Proverbs 19:2 warns about acting hastily, reminding us that moving too quickly without knowledge can cause us to miss the right path.Sometimes the heartbreak we experience later could have been avoided if we had slowed down long enough to listen. That does not mean every marriage that happens quickly will fail, nor does it mean that waiting guarantees a perfect marriage. It simply means wisdom should have a place in one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. GOD sees what we cannot see. He knows what is behind a person's words, He knows their heart, and He knows what is ahead of us.

One thing that has left many people with questions isn't necessarily that someone was interviewed—it's how that person was presented.There is nothing wrong with interviewing someone who claims to know a family or has information they want to share. Interviews are an important part of journalism. However, the way a guest is introduced matters just as much as the interview itself.

I don't know if it's just me, but after talking about this on the podcast, I realized I'm not the only person who feels this way. A lot of people have said that one of the hardest things about Atlanta is trying to figure out who's actually genuine.I'm not saying everyone is like this, but it can feel like you're constantly questioning people's motives. You meet someone, and instead of feeling like you're getting to know a real person, you're wondering if they're trying to get something from you. Are they being honest? Are they looking for clout? Are they trying to get on TV? Are they running some kind of hustle? It's sad that those thoughts even have to cross your mind, but that's the reality a lot of people say they've experienced.

Watching it actually made me understand Janet Jackson's perspective a little more. Janet loved her brother, and I can imagine how difficult it must be to keep reliving painful family memories over and over again. When you've already lost someone you love, having those old wounds opened repeatedly can't be easy.I can see why Janet may not have been completely supportive of revisiting certain parts of the family's history. Sometimes people simply want to move forward instead of constantly being reminded of the pain. That doesn't mean Michael Jackson doesn't deserve to have his story told—because I absolutely believe he does. I just think it's understandable that not everyone in the family would want to revisit those painful moments again and again.One thing I noticed is that this movie seemed to spend a lot more time highlighting who Joe Jackson really was and the impact he had on Michael. In my opinion, that was the main focus of the film. Most people already viewed Joe Jackson as an abusive father, especially after earlier portrayals over the years, but this movie seemed determined to make sure there was no confusion about how difficult that relationship really was.Personally, I still think the first Michael Jackson movie was better than this one. The second film felt much heavier because it focused so much on the abuse and the emotional damage within the Jackson family. Even so, I can understand why the filmmakers chose that direction, and after watching it, I have a better understanding of why Janet Jackson may have struggled with seeing those painful memories brought back into the spotlight.

To many, it almost seems as if TMZ is not trying to tell the truth about everything. I'm not saying they have to report every single rumor or every opinion floating around online, but people are noticing that certain details being discussed by others don't seem to be making it into their reports. That's exactly why so many people are questioning what's really going on.A lot of people also felt that in the short video Charles did, he was only giving you the surface part of everything and not giving you the full facts out in the open. That is what has people frustrated. They aren't just looking for quick headlines anymore. They want details. They want explanations. They want to understand why certain information is being talked about everywhere else but doesn't seem to be getting the same attention.

If people can faithfully support someone who is wicked, then why can't Christians faithfully support God?Think about it.People will defend celebrities, politicians, influencers, and all kinds of people who have no real power outside of what God allows them to have. They'll argue online, make videos, wear their merchandise, and stand by them no matter what.But when it comes to talking about Jesus, suddenly people get quiet.It's like the cat has their tongue.They're worried about what someone might think. They're afraid of being judged. They're embarrassed to speak up. Yet they'll boldly defend someone who can't save them, heal them, or give them eternal life.God has all power.If we're willing to stand behind people who are flawed, why is it so hard to stand behind the One who created us?Nobody should be forced to believe what someone else believes. We all have the freedom to make our own choices. But if someone has the freedom to openly support the things they believe in, then Christians should have that same freedom to openly share their faith without feeling ashamed.The truth is, when you genuinely believe in God, there will be times when you feel like you're standing alone. Not everyone will understand you. Not everyone will agree with you. The people who truly recognize what God is doing aren't always the majority.But that shouldn't change your conviction.I believe in God enough to stand my ground.If someone else can boldly stand behind what they believe—even when I disagree with it—then I can boldly stand behind Jesus without apology.Faith was never meant to be hidden.
