What Does the Bible Say About Entertainment?

from Radically Christian · host Wes McAdams

Can a Christian actually watch a movie to the glory of God? Play a video game in the name of Jesus? It sounds almost absurd until you realize Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 10:31 doesn't stop at the church door, "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." That means entertainment too. But what does that actually look like in practice? And how do you avoid the two traps: writing off all entertainment as spiritually dangerous, or treating it as a completely neutral zone where faith has no say? Wes and Marcus have both wrestled with this personally. They bring their own stories, their own failures, and a surprisingly deep theological case for why how and why you consume entertainment matters just as much as what you choose to consume.Links and Resources* VidAngel - Skip & mute offensive content you don’t want to see or hear in thousands of movies & TV shows, including profanity, nudity, violence & more.* When I Relax I Feel Guilty by Tim Hansel — Wes mentioned this book sat on his shelf for years, unread — which, he noted, proved its point perfectly.* Logos Bible Study Software - Extended Free TrialThis description contains affiliate links.
