Quick takeaways

The Christian music industry has become compromised, with secular companies owning Christian record labels, leading to a decline in promoting biblical truths and confusion among listeners.

Influential platforms and coalitions within evangelicalism, known as 'Big Eva,' often compromise biblical integrity and defend artists who support unbiblical views, emphasizing the need to stand firm in biblical truth and fear God.

Christians should prioritize loyalty to God's Word over cultural trends and organizations, even if it means losing popularity or facing criticism, as true freedom and an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ are built on this foundation.

Deep dives

The Corrupt Nature of the Christian Music Industry

The podcast episode discusses the corrupt nature of the contemporary Christian music industry. The guests highlight how Christian record labels have been sold to secular companies, which has resulted in compromising artistic freedom and unfair deals for artists. The industry's focus on profit over ministry and mass appeal has led to a decline in promoting biblical truths and a confusion among listeners. The episode also mentions recent controversies involving Christian music artists embracing LGBTQ+ views and other non-Biblical ideas.

John Cooper joins me for another “mashup” episode going out to both our platforms this week! In this episode, we talk about the state of Contemporary Christian music, and how we got to a place in history in which industry insiders are promoting and defending anti-Christian values among their artists. We cover everything from recent events such as a drag queen topping the iTunes Christian charts to recent deconstruction stories to who owns the Christian record labels. We end with some encouragement and a hopeful call to the church to return to the fear of God and holiness.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.

🤯 How amazing is this app?!

Snipd helps me keep track of everything I resonated with from a show. I can always find my snips, listen to them again, share them. And there are so many great product updates regularly! Like the feature to chat with the episode: I can retrieve even more knowledge from an episode 🥹 I’m in love with this app 🤍
