After last week’s discussion on how Christians engage with culture and storytelling, we received a great listener question:
Doesn’t Philippians 4:8 tell us to only think about things that are true, noble, pure, and lovely?
So how can we justify watching stories that include evil, grief, or darkness?
In this episode, Pastors Nathan and Matt explore:
- How to interpret Philippians 4:8 in context
- Why truth and beauty can sometimes include hard or dark elements
- How to consume content thoughtfully, not passively
- How to avoid legalism while still honoring Christ in what we take in
If you’ve ever wrestled with what’s okay to watch or listen to as a Christian, this one’s for you.
