The Future Is Now Podcast - Telling the Truth in a world full of lies.
105 | Elon Musk, Netflix, and Why its so Easy to Rage Bait Christians
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Future Is Now Podcast, Spencer Nakamura unpacks the chaos surrounding Elon Musk’s “Cancel Netflix” movement—and asks the question few believers are willing to: Are we thinking biblically, or just emotionally?
Spencer explores the cycle of outrage culture, the difference between canceling vs. testing, and why followers of Jesus must develop spiritual discernment in an age of manipulation.
Later in the show, Spencer reacts to William Matthews’ deconstruction story (former Bethel worship leader) and a viral “Subway Takes” video where a non-believer exposes the Church’s lack of urgency about evangelism.
This isn’t about outrage—it’s about maturity, urgency, and truth.
Learn how to test the spirits (1 John 4:1), train your discernment (Hebrews 5:13-14), and lead culture instead of following it.
