Should Christians avoid R-rated movies altogether, or is there room for discernment? In this episode of Rooted & Reason, we explore the biblical perspective on consuming media, focusing on themes of violence, nudity, language, and darkness.
We dive into questions like:
- What does the Bible say about guarding our hearts and minds?
- Can the intention behind watching a movie make it acceptable?
- How does the media we consume impact our spiritual life and family?
Join us for a candid conversation filled with scripture, practical insights, and personal experiences. Whether you're grappling with whether to watch the latest blockbuster or rethinking your media habits, this episode will challenge and encourage you to honor God in your choices.
