Is It Building You or Breaking You?
Podcast Episode Summary:
In this episode, I reflect on how my perspective on entertainment—like movies, music, and video games—has changed since coming to Christ. While I once enjoyed these things freely, I now struggle with feelings of guilt, not because these things are inherently sinful, but because I’ve started viewing them through the lens of Christ.
I dig into 1 Corinthians 10:23, which reminds us that just because something is allowed doesn't mean it's beneficial or edifying. I talk about how I initially swung too far into legalism, cutting out anything that didn’t seem explicitly Christian, and how I’m learning to find a healthier balance. The goal isn’t to avoid all entertainment, but to ask deeper questions—not just “Is this sinful?” but “Is this helpful? Does it build me up?”
This episode is for anyone struggling with guilt around “gray areas” of life and trying to discern what glorifies God without falling into rigid legalism.
Verses Used (ESV):
- 1 Corinthians 10:23 –
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.
