EP 151| How To Consume Christian Media? | Redeeming Truth

In this episode of the Redeeming Truth podcast, the pastoral team from Redeemer Bible Church—pastors Kyle Swanson, Jason Stinson, Todd Burgett, Kevin Hay, and Matthew Heller—discusses the crucial topic of discernment in consuming Christian media.

The discussion centers around the importance of distinguishing between truth and near-truth, especially in a time when false teachings are widespread.

The pastors emphasize the need to protect one's mind from harmful influences by applying a consistent biblical hermeneutic and staying deeply rooted in Scripture.

They also explore the role of the local church in guiding believers, stressing the dangers of theological snobbery and the impact of media on shaping our beliefs.

Join us as we delve into practical ways to develop personal convictions that align with God's Word and why staying connected to faithful Bible teaching within the church is vital.

📌 Action Items:
* Be in the Word of God daily.
* Approach Scripture with a consistent grammatical, historical hermeneutic.

* Protect children from harmful influences and help them think biblically.
