Reacting to Controversial TikToks as a Christian

from Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola · host Jeanine Amapola

Hey friends! I'm mixing it up this week and I'm reacting to TikToks and IG reels that have been all over my feed lately! From whether having a boyfriend is “embarrassing” to the whole “Hatch is demonic” controversy, and even church aesthetics and modesty debates—I’m diving into it ALL. These are things we’re seeing all over social media, and I just wanted to talk about them through a biblical lens. So heads up: some hot takes ahead! I also talk about how Christians are often misunderstood online (especially moms or people passionate about their faith), and why we should still stand firm in truth with kindness. Hope you enjoy it!
