Cancel Culture VS. Kingdom Culture

David Mcmullen Season 1 Episode 22

What if the real battleground of cancel culture isn’t online, but in our own hearts and homes? We take a hard look at how quick judgments, silent grudges, and dismissive words mirror the very culture we criticize—and how the gospel offers a better way. Anchored in Romans 12:2, Galatians 6:1, and John 8, we explore a path from erasure to restoration: renewing the mind, restoring the fallen with gentleness, and extending grace without compromising truth.

Together, we unpack the stories that make this personal: weaponized old posts, the impulse to ice out a spouse during conflict, and the subtle ways we label our kids when they fail. Marriage becomes a training ground where kingdom culture chooses unity over withdrawal. Parenting calls for discipline that refuses to define a child by their worst moment. And in church life, we expose how legalism fuels division—then replace it with a grace that heals. We get practical about taming the tongue, confronting gossip, and building habits that turn daily renewal into daily resilience.

Here’s the throughline: grace is not approval; it’s an invitation to change. Jesus didn’t cancel the woman caught in adultery; he called her higher. Peter wasn’t benched for denial; he was restored for mission. If we believe that, our speech softens, our homes become refuges, and our communities grow stronger. Listen to learn simple steps to choose restoration over rejection, overcome evil with good, and cultivate a culture that looks like the King.
