501. The Christian Idolizing Entertainment

from To Be The Church

Entertainment isn’t neutral—it disciples us. In this episode, Kenan and Stephen explore how movies, sports, social media, and even fitness can move from hobbies to heart-level idols. They discuss the subtle ways Christians trade worship for amusement, the “hobby audit” of time, money, and emotion, and how to recover joy in God’s good world without being mastered by it. This is a conversation about formation, wisdom, and learning to love what lasts.Contact us at [email protected] Media:Instagram.com/tobethechurchfacebook.com/tobethechurchyoutube.com/tobethechurch
