Should Christians Avoid Scary Movies? How to Decide What Your Family Watches
from The Family Business with The Alessis: A Christian Parenting and Marriage Podcast · host Steve and Mary Alessi - Pastors of Metro Life Church, Miami | Authors | Ministry Family Mentors
In this episode, Steve and Mary Alessi are diving into a topic every Christian family wrestles with—what should we be watching? When shows like Stranger Things and other popular series are based on dark themes, violence and anti-family values, should we draw the line and protect our families from being influenced? Steve and Mary Alessi provide some much-needed perspective on how to navigate entertainment choices in a world that's constantly pushing boundaries, so you can tell the difference between being overly religious and being wisely discerning about what to allow into your home. Whether you're a parent trying to set healthy boundaries for your kids, struggling with what's "too much" for your family, or just tired of every show pushing an agenda you don't agree with, this conversation will help you think through how to protect your home while staying grounded in biblical wisdom, not fear.RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE Why We Aren't Proud of Pride Month - S5 E20Text the show!
