In this follow-up episode of Rooted & Reason, we continue the discussion on whether Christians should watch R-rated movies. While Part 1 explored biblical principles and practical perspectives, this episode tackles some of the counterarguments—questions about Christian maturity, personal conviction, and whether all R-rated content is the same.
Should mature believers have more freedom in what they watch? Does avoiding certain media make someone a "better" Christian? What role do husbands and parents have in protecting their families from questionable content? And ultimately, how should our faith shape our entertainment choices?
Join us for a thoughtful conversation as we seek to align our media consumption with a Christ-centered life.
