Can Christians Enjoy Culture?

from The Overflow · host Brandon & Susan Thomas

In this episode, we unpack how to recognize what’s good, what’s neutral, and what’s broken when it comes to what we're being fed by our culture. From music and movies to concerts and comedy, Christians often live between two extremes: mindlessly consuming or harshly withdrawing. But the Bible gives us a better way. God is the giver of joy, creativity, and beauty, yet He also calls us to wisdom, holiness, and discernment.QUESTIONS:Do you tend to mindlessly consume culture or harshly reject it?Where have you seen common grace in music, movies, or art...even from non-believers?What filters or boundaries could help you honor God while still enjoying creativity?READ MORE:Discernment and transformation in Romans 12:1–2Common grace in Matthew 5:45Guarding your heart in Proverbs 4:23Spiritual maturity through solid food in Hebrews 5:14
