I was wrong about VidAngel. Should Christians watch content that needs to be filtered?

Vidangel promises to clean up your media consumption. But should Christians watch content that exploits actors and actresses? Amanda Seyfried has confessed she regrets her explicit scenes from when she was 19. Should we use VidAngle to filter that content if her exploitation has already taken place?

Vidangel promises that we can "Skip or mute what you don’t want to see or hear." But should we really be watching anyway? Whether it's House of Dragon, Game of Thrones, or other popular streaming content, should Christians consume this?

What is a Woman Documentary Review Matt Walsh - Daily Wire Documentary on Modern Gender Ideology

The What is a Woman documentary by Matt Walsh has landed among the most streamed documentaries in 2022. Should you watch it? The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh interviews modern gender theorists on the subject of gender identity and pursues the definition of the word woman.  

University of California at Berkeley Law professor Khiara Bridges refused to use the term woman, preferring "people with the capacity to get pregnant" in her senate hearing in July of 2022 while Senator Josh Hawley was a bit stumped by this.  

The ideological divide between modern gender theorist and those who espouse a conservative and historical view of gender is vast and not bridgeable. What is that divide?  

This review will cover whether you should see the movie and what explains the divide between these two sides.  

How many genders are there: https://youtu.be/knOYJLISDwU

Four Epic Quotes from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings about Dealing with our Past #Trauma

Four Epic Quotes from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings about Dealing with our Past.  Shang-Chi has to deal with the brokenness of his family and past if he wants to live out his true identity. Here are four epic quotes from Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings that help us deal with our past to live true to who God says we are.  

The War of the Soul Study: https://amzn.to/3r9sGKy 

Family trauma and wounding can have a severe impact on our present behavior. How can we heal from our past wounding? What does the Scripture have to say about dealing with our past?  We often try to medicate our pain through unwanted behavior like addiction. Shang-Chi was trying to escape through hiding. But hiding will not lead to healing.

What Will Smith and Chris Rock teach us about managing emotions - Core Lies and Walking in the Truth

Will Smith and Chris Rock had an explosive incident as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards. Will Smiths outburst shows us how our emotions can lead to unwanted behavior.

Our beliefs impact our behavior. What are the toxic lies that are the root of Will Smith's behavior? I can relate to struggling to manage emotions. When we react based on our emotions, our behavior is often out of line with the person we desire to be.

The Core Lie illustration shows how to identify and root out unhealthy beliefs to prevent unwanted behavior. We often medicate our unwanted emotions, but a much better strategy is to replace the lies with the truths of God's Word. 

“and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”” (Matthew 3:17, ESV)

“and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” (John 8:32, ESV)
