Attention Creates Life or Death (Romans 8:6)

Media doesn’t just fill your time—it forms your desires.

There’s no such thing as “just a show.” Whether it’s Love Island, Game of Thrones, or your favorite rom-com, what we watch is shaping what we desire. The real question isn’t “can I handle it?” but “do I want to become someone who’s no longer bothered by what breaks God’s heart?”

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most common questions we get: Should Christians watch sex scenes?

We’ll cover:

• How to tell the difference between conviction and legalism
• Why “it doesn’t make me sin” isn’t the whole story
• What Scripture actually says about media, discernment, and transformation
• 5 powerful questions to ask before watching anything
• How to tell if you’re relaxing—or numbing out

If you’ve ever asked, “Is this really a big deal?”, or “Where’s the line between grace and compromise?”—this conversation is for you.

You’re being trained by what you’re entertained by. Let’s talk about what that means.
