Not all “Christian” media is created equal—and it’s not just about what’s on screen, but also what’s behind it. In this episode, we dive into the influence of Christian films like The Chosen, The Passion of the Christ, Prince of Egypt, and more. Should we show these to our kids? Can they help or harm our understanding of Jesus? What’s the role of artistic license, and where should we draw the line?

Tony and Bre Wood sits down with Grant and Grace Anna Castleberry to unpack both the blessings and dangers of Christian media. They share personal stories and remind us that no film, no matter how well made, should ever replace Scripture in shaping our view of Christ.

Whether you're a parent, a pastor, or just someone trying to navigate entertainment with discernment, this conversation will help you think biblically and wisely about what you watch—and what you let shape your heart.
