Entertainment or Entertaining the Enemy

from Dying to Live Podcast · host Joshua Generation Church

 As believers, we live in a world overflowing with entertainment—movies, shows, music, and media that constantly compete for our attention. Some of it inspires us. Some of it challenges us. And some of it quietly pulls us away from God and who He is calling us to be.Here, we’re asking the hard but necessary questions:What should we be watching—and what should we walk away from?Where do we draw the line between discernment and legalism?How do we navigate fantasy, witchcraft, and symbolic storytelling through a biblical lens?And how do we honour the truth that what may be permissible for one believer may not be beneficial for another—without using grace as an excuse or causing others to stumble? This isn’t about creating rules—it’s about cultivating wisdom and Biblical discernment.It’s about guarding our hearts, renewing our minds, and learning how to engage culture without being consumed by it. This is a place for honest conversation, biblical reflection, and grace-filled clarity—because what we consume shapes us more than we often realize.Mike D'Offay and Dan Barnard, elders in the life of JoshGen, share wisdom, principles and perspective when it comes how we should discern between truth and error for ourselves and our families.
