I love what a pastor said once, "If you would not be comfortable watching something if Jesus were sitting on the couch watching tv with you then it is NOT for you to be watching". Like you said, discernment. We have to listen to that still small voice, it never fails us! I have sooo stepped away from things I used to watch and I don't miss them at all. God bless!
I was addicted to watching bad movies with sex, nudity, etc. but after I got saved I have definitely cut those watch habits in half. I actually wanted to watch 3 of these movies and I feel myself slip, and after I watched your video the feeling went away. So I want to thank you and please don't stop. be blessed.
I noticed something: I got saved but a short while ago I slid back into sin. Temptation literally is everywhere. I talked a lot about Squid Game and watched a movie with a sexual scene and shortly after I began mast*rbating again, which God had freed me from. So guys, as a Christian teen I can say; Guard your heart❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for your vulnerability! Yes, temptation is EVERYWHERE. This is why it’s so important to understand your personal convictions and boundaries, and pray that God gives you strength to bare temptation when it comes (1 Corinthians 10:13 + Mathew 26:41), that the enemy may flee from you, again, thank you for your comment and God bless you ..
““The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:22-24. Goes for shows ❤️😌
After Netflix used "praised satan" to promote the prom series, I couldn't support the platform anymore. So no more Netflix for me and honestly I don't miss it.
Yep, that was a big yikes for me too 🤦🏾♀️ but I wasn’t surprised, some of the content on Netflix is shockingly explicit - for example the Cuties controversy - that sickened me. Blatant sexualisation of children and yet no repercussions. Swept under the rug. Thank you for your comment, God bless ..
Jesus died for our sins, He lived the life we couldn’t. Anyone who acknowledges that they are a sinner and recognized that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose 3 days later, and truly accepts Him as Lord and savior, will be saved . Repent and Live for Him 🙏🏾He loves us and He is coming soon. 💞💞 I love you too❤️
Thanks for this, sis. I stumbled upon your video while searching for answers about if Christians should watch kdrama. You said it so perfectly when you said “it comes to a point in your saved life where your just thinking why am I watching this?!”. So true. As a person who loves film it’s so hard to know the secular entertainment industry is just so worldly. Pray for me cuz I’m so heartbroken that these people have wonderful gifts that there using to love the world 😭
I loved reading this and seeing your heart on the topic Christina, thank you for sharing! It’s such a relatable struggle, especially in this day and age where majority of the mainstream media isn’t enriching to the spirit of a believer, I pray that God uses those with passion and appreciation for film and media to glorify Him and remain steadfast! God bless ..
It's interesting to reflect back on shows I watched as an unbeliever with a fresh spiritual lens now. In Vampire Diaries, the most powerful character ends up being the witch. And, much like with Wednesday, Christians are portrayed as being the absolute worst people in history. That isn't to say that, historically, people haven't carried out heinous acts in the name of God, but supernatural based movies and television series tend to really play into that "Christians are horrible and kill anyone different for fun" trope. Euphoria...I can't even. I watched one episode and even as an unbeliever at the time my spirit was so grieved. It felt like I was watching some sort of horrific p*rnography on the dark web. To think it was so popular with preteens and young teens!
Yep - it’s really sad, it’s especially wicked as a lot of it is targeted to younger audiences, gradually conditioning their minds and hearts to perversion 😓 God bless ..
Praise be to Yeshuah! My dear sister, I was so disgusted with myself when I watched 2 seasons of You. I felt such darkness and filth in me, disturbing me for a while. I couldn't help quitting it. But , after I ran to our Father, seeking His Spirit, with so much remorse, The Lord helped me feel so stronger and better
@@AkuaB 💓🙏 Halleluyah! Who said God is silent! We have the One True Living God, Yeshuah , the Son , in the Father, living in us, rescuing us from every trap. May Yahuah bless you and keep u
Thanks for posting your video. Really enjoyed it. I'd recommend adding to your list tv series such as Spartacus, Ash vs Evil , Gossip Girl , Buffy the vampire slayer, Angel ( two of my fav shows), and many many more. I used to watch a lot of tv growing up. Most of the tv shows I ' ve watched were about supernatural stuff, horror like etc.. I don't blame myself for that although if I could turn back the time I wouldn't watch it. Back then I didn't believe in God, didn't understand christian values. Nowadays I rarely watch something, mostly movies about God and feel much more at peace with it. God bless!!!!
I regret watching Bridgerton. I never thought much about it until after I watched the same video you mentioned. I thought well this isn’t the show I would want God to come back and see me watching.
Yep 👀 I see where you’re coming from, once you realise what you’re watching, it’s easier to differentiate the wheat from the chaff, God bless Sierra 💛 ..
I actually stopped watching Once upon a time I don’t think I’ll be watching that show again. I’m actually trying to read more biblical fiction books more than watching stuff
@@nicholaschuma6304 mainly on amazon there’s a lot of good ones out there like Cities of Refuge by connilynn cosset Restoration Chronicles another one of my personal favorites is Circle of Honor a Scottish christian historical fiction
Great video! Shows that I don’t watch anymore: The bachelor All Real Housewives Gilmore Girls Gossip Girl Grace & Frankie You the office -I am on the fence but leaning toward not watching. A lot of “omg”, sex before marriage and in one episode Micheal mentions “what if God is not real” in a joking way and it was uncomfortable. I no longer watch movies that have explicit sex scenes or any sex scenes, darkness, drug use, cursing, violence, etc. unfortunately I have seen many movies and read many books with darkness and I now know what to stay away from.
Stay true to your convictions 💛 only you and God know your boundaries. I don’t really watch TV shows anymore because of some of the things you mentioned - especially when there is constant explicit or blasphemous content.
Hey, hoping you'll read this. Do you mind telling me why you don't watch Gilmore girls? I really loved that show and I just want to hear your perspective!🤗
@@pollyandrade2125 Hi! sure! I used to LOVE Gilmore Girls and have seen all of the seasons multiple times including the revival. l loved the characters, the town, the clothes and all. I've seen worse so I ultimately thought it was mostly wholesome. After the Lord saved me I started to see everything differently and once my views changed, I couldn't go back. Some of what changed my mind about watching: Lorelai and Rory blaspheme the Lord's name constantly, They lie, treat others poorly at times, sleep with multiple men out of marriage, cheat, and in a couple episodes they mock Jesus. Watching the show as a Christian wasn't fun anymore. Its not a super easy choice because its nostalgic for me too, but its a bad example for me to be looking at. I still want to watch it every year when fallcomes around because that's what I would always do and let the seasons play through until they were done, but its just a fleshly desire I don't fall into.
@@Danimij yessss! i noticed them using the Lord’s name in vein too! at first i tried ignoring my conviction, but lorelei kept rubbing my spirit the wrong way with how disrespectful she was to her parents. i just started watching and i already made it almost 1/3 of the way through season four, but the constant blasphemous jokes and loreleis stubbornness and disrespect/selfish tendencies made me upset haha. 😅
I believe the Lord is calling me to stop watching shows or any entertainment at all. Time waster, it’s hard but I know it’s the right decision and will get easier once I just follow his lead and do it.
Thank you for sharing your conviction, it can definitely be a big distraction - God bless you and give you strength and wisdom to navigate this next season 😊 ..
I watched euphoria episode 1 and I lost my peace,I had to stop watching to come and see a Christian perspective of the movie because my coconut head might continue watching . Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing. I kid you not, watching secular content as a practicing Christian messes up my spirit all the time and suddenly feel distant from God. When I watch godly things I feel at peace and comfortable. Lucifer is one show that I will never ever watch. Netflix just keeps throwing it in my face as a recommendation and I stay firm to not watch. My heart doesn't even yearn to watch it because I know what the show is going to portray from the time it first aired to the world. I watched 2 seasons if YOU and by the 3rd I couldn't anymore. The romanticizing of psychopaths isn't healthy for our minds and not of God either. Content nowadays have become so misleading and evil. I try to watch 7+ and 13+ shows but even those have elements in there that aren't right for Christians. The eyes are the windows to the soul so one should always ask themself: "Is this good for me? What will I gain or learn from it? Does it glorify the Kingdom of God?" This is how we can guard our hearts and mindset to not stray away from God. Talents and gifts were given to us to shine light to the Kingdom of God..whether movies, music, art and etc.
I watched the 1st episode of Lucifer way back, to see how the writers would handle presenting the devil in their show. (I was utterly new to such things, and didn't even know ahead what genre they were going for.) The minute the devil referred to God as his dad, implying that Jesus was the golden child, and he was unfairly cast as the "black sheep" of the family, I said to myself, "they're going the Mormon route. I'm outta here!" No offense to Mormon folks, themselves. I'm sure there are some who are lovely people. But I've had it drilled into my head since at least preschool that we don't talk to Mormon people about faith. We keep our faith strong, and if we ever waver, we stay far from Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the like.
Yikes, I’m glad your discernment kicked in! 😳 I had pretty much the same experience but I couldn’t get past a few minutes 😅 Yes I find with shows that try to portray the spiritual and biblical to be perverted - there’s always some kind of twisting of the truth, and before you know it you’re rooting for the devil. If it’s not a depiction from God (a Godly, Christian series on the scripture/ spiritual) then it’s best to steer clear 🙅🏾♀️ ..
dude same! some of my friends watched and liked i was like aight let me see it too, naturally i’m a person who hates long seasoned dramas, i was like fine it has 4 or whatever season i’ll try my best to watch i watched one ep, i quite liked it but i just gave up watching the rest coz i was lazy and i am happy i didn’t even continued.
Please don’t speak on Jehovah’s witnesses like you know anything about us. 1. We would never think even once about watching these shows. The only reason I even stumbled upon this video is because I wanted to see what shows she was talking about but we guard our hearts way harder than y’all and that’s why y’all stumble and fall more often than we do… Just saying… a lot of y’all here talking about falling into sin. Like witnesses that’s not even a thought. We don’t want to be anywhere near Satan. A lot of y’all Protestants are lukewarm and that’s why y’all stumble and fall more often… you know how many Protestants logic is “since I’m already saved I can just sin and do whatever I want?” Y’all the only religion who’s the most hypocrites so please don’t even talk about Mormons. They’re strict and they respect and fear God. Y’all don’t…..
You’ve just inspired me to make one of these!! Ive have quite the list of my own..like drug shows, crime shows and shows that have supernatural themes 😳
There is so much out there to be wary of in the world of entertainment - especially the supernatural these days, all the best with your list and video 😊 God bless ..
The older I've gotten, the less interested I've been I watching things, so I'm good there. My temptation is messed-up fan fiction. Used to read it in my teens and I've been working on trying to pull away from it. I'm writing my own stories instead that have more of Jesus in them than what I've been reading over the years.
Nice list my personal list: 5. Harry Potter (I can see why it’s popular and our hero even is Christ like figure in the end but he’s still a wizard… good or bad that I’m still debating) 4. Invincible ( a good storyline but too much animated bloody violence and I mentally can’t watch a father brutally fight his son in the finale) 3.Lucifer (like you mentioned they turn our enemy the devil into a likable protagonist….) 2. The boys (graphic violence and cynical portrayal and satire of Christianity) 1. Game of Thrones (this has everything in the book of content Christian’s are not to watch. Graphic violence,sex, strong language, I don’t need to see that!)
The Handmaids Tale which was base by Canadian author Margaret Atwood book under same title was about religious dictatorship like how the Taliban with there Muslim extremist rule like what happened in Afghanistan while this one is like Christian Taliban who take away women rights. The TV series I did not watch all of it agree that would represent negative aspect about Christianity instead of show positive side to Jesus love.
Matthew 6:22-23 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" Galatians 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Definitely - the problem with a lot of these shows is exactly that, they act as gateways with pleasant signage to seduce viewers into investing time and attention, then, in turn warping your world view. God bless ..
Thank you for this video! I am growing closer to God and I have been trying to remove certain things out of my life. I have thrown out some movies a while ago like gangster movies and movies with a lot of sex and such. I hate movies that are over sexualized and so many shows and movies are like that now. I stay away from those but I am struggling with horror. And I love the vampire diaries 😩. The abuse, the manipulation, the witchcraft, the partner swapping, all of it is wrong but I am so attached to it because I’ve watched it when it first started and have watched all seasons and i just feel sucked in it’s crazy 🤦🏾♀️
pray against it and ask God for help. Rebuke every demonic and fleshly desire to continue watching in Jesus' name. Te fact that you've been "sucked" in in itself should be a HUGE red flag to u. Pray, Fast and renounce. I hope you realize that this battle with the evil one will never end unless you decide to step out and away from temptation. Obviously Holy Spirit is here to help you, so seek Jesus, ask for His help and fight. Don't let it become your normal. I'll be praying for you. Bless you and your family.
As a Catholic, just want to say we don't believe in salvation by works but I did enjoy the Good place for the concept. I understood it for what it was, a secular take on the afterlife so I'm not confused by it. I'm reading up on philosophical writers and their ideas to understand their takes on the body and spirit and this show seems to take inspiration from concept of Jean Paul Sartre's Hell is other People. There's also a twilight zone episode that has a similar concept. I stopped watching it though for other reasons such as the jokes that make light of sexual sins, the point system thing was quite disturbing for me as someone who struggles with scrupulosity, and it just felt like the story wasn't as compelling or had meat to it after the reveal that they were actually in the bad place.
I don’t watch half the stuff on Netflix but there is one show I still like that has some language and drinking but it’s about family and horses Heartland it’s about a girl who saves abused horses and fix horses with issues the only problem is the lanquage and the drinking part other than that it’s pretty good but me and gran decided to cool off of it a bit for a while
We decided with husband to do not have a TV in the house since there is so much polluted media production around. Now, it can also be reached by phone, but i feel is much easier to pick and choose this way. I didn't know any of the series mentioned, but truly enjoyed your point of view on it, regardless.
Aww thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Yes I see where you’re coming from, I got to the point where I started to be desensitised to certain types of material through ads - so now for me to have more control over what I take in, I mostly use subscriptions on platforms and services or don’t watch/ interact at all. Thank you for sharing and God bless 💛 ..
I must admit I do watch crime stories or action shows of good guy get the bad guys but is danger to watch some of these action shows but even before I was converted I just could not watch horror movies that is not entertainment of seeing graphic killing for fun of it.
Just came across your channel! Girl!!! You are SPEAKING THE TRUTH! I’ve actually never seen anyone bold enough to do this! I know God has blessed you for this. Scripture tells us that satan is the father of lies. And SO many young people are getting sucked into horror, satanic, derogatory shows (and games, actually). I actually began watching Yellowstone (if you know what that is) a few years ago. But I couldn’t get past the vile language. And the family division, the hate, the murder. So I just stopped. I feel like we, as Christians, should take care to keep these things out of our homes. The Bible says to stay away from those things. 13:41 You just said it. You can’t take this into your mind and keep your thoughts fixed on the good things God has for us. God bless you! 😊❤🙏🏼
It's gotten worse in the past year since this video. I can't find anything to watch it's either too sexual, too murderous, or too demonic. It seems like the occult us trending; so blatant and annoying. I just wanna watch a good show 🙄
Thank you so much for making this video!! I totally agree with you with these shows and Netflix has went dark for sure. I watched YOU and other shoes that at first seemed harmless. It wasn’t until God truly took those scales from my eyes and the conviction came and I immediately cancelled my subscription! Yea it’s a no for me!! I’m curious to hear about your thoughts about Twilight? I was a huge fan because of the romance piece and now as I’m older I’m like it had its own little darkness to it as well.
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” James 4:17 Pray about this for sure and seek Godly counsel 🙏🏾 personal conviction is a real thing and if you are feeling convicted about it, it’s better to be obedient than suffer the consequences later, I hope that helped 😊 God bless ..
I used to have no regard for what I watched as long as there weren't too many swears. I always felt a little guilty watching shows like Stranger Things and Riverdale, but I kept doing it. It took me a while to realize that the God didn't want me to watch these things, but not for the reason I thought. I thought that God just didn't want me to have fun, but watching shows like these do bad things to you emotionally and spiritually---God was trying to protect me. These past couple years I've let go of a lot of shows and I'm much better off without them; I'm so glad that the Holy Spirit intervened when it did! Thanks for the video and to anyone who's struggling, I know how you feel! Take it to God and listen to what He has to say.
Can I not watch any princess movies with my kids either they have magic and etc, or talking animals or veggie tales or Toy Story? I’m confused…I’m so confused man and I’m so tired of learning and learning and learning…I’m so tired. And so scared I’ll be a bad mom, and my child will grow up not knowing how to have an imagination without being sinful. I’m so confused. And it takes two people and I have a boyfriend, it takes two people to agree to follow something, I wanna do the right thing and I want him to do the right thing and help lead me with Jesus.
I really loved how to get away with murder but I just stopped one time 😭😂 God was like nope and I could never start back watching it. A lot of the shows I used to watch I just can't get back into.
I feel as if I'm listening to my self speak right now 😳 our opinion on TV shows are so similar and I've watched and not watched many of the same things
I stopped watching tv shows for 6 years and counting. I have noticed that teen dramas are very sexual and portrays love in a lustful ways eg: Twisted and Lincoln heights
If you feel convicted about it, pray about it sis! ☺️ it’s best to give it a miss if you feel uncomfortable continuing to watch, especially if it’s causing strain in your relationship with God, or you feel like you can’t bring it to God in prayer 💛 ..
I am a Christian, though I have to say i enjoyed the good place. I often use it as a comparison when a talk about why we would even care about heaven because theres some people who feel like it would het boring. Heaven it's is cool to imagine. But the reason why the good place ended with them getting bored was because God wasn't there. Without God, we are not at peace and we would still seek desire and meaning even after death. With God, our purpose is fulfilled and we are satisfied because he made us in a way that we want to worship, we want to be satisfied and we want purpose.
Thanks for your comment - I do agree with you 😊 my views have changed a bit since I made this video 😂 so I can definitely see more sides to a show like the good place and appreciate it for what it is and what it could teach us 👀 God bless! ..
Handmaid’s tale is based off of a book, and we’re probably about to be in handmaid’s tale to be honest, because of the government mainly being Roe v Wade
Wow never heard of thee shows. I would never watch any scary shows death vampires I don't even watch 20/20. I like comedy funny shows . I hardly watch TV. I can go a week with no tv.i will listen to news and sports stuff. That's about it
what are your thoughts on the tv shows manifest & stranger things? also what about marvel movies? i watched gilmore girls and had to turn it off just because i was starting to compare my life in the fact that i was going through a breakup & the two girls were dating. also i felt it rather boring after a couple watches. so i just stopped watching it because i wasn’t enjoying it… not because i thought it was bad. but the shows i mentioned above are shows/movies that are more my speed. i did go through a phase of loving horror and thriller movies, but i’ve been trying to stay away from those shows recently. i felt very convicted when watching the show “you”. i loved watching it at the time, but it just made me feel gross after watching.
Thank you for sharing Gabby! ☺️ First of all I think it’s wise to share any concerns with God, the Holy Spirit will convict you as He has done with the show “YOU”, to guide you away from harm, or anything that could be detrimental to your spiritual health. And these convictions may vary from person to person. I just want to encourage you because I know how tough it can be, in the search for entertainment and media to enjoy especially as a Christian, it can be draining. I haven’t watched Stranger things before, however it does deal with some darker material from what I’ve heard. I would proceed with caution on that one. With manifest, I have actually watched the first season I believe, however that was quite some time ago so I forget the content of it. I can’t remember anything too graphic happening, however it does deal with manipulation of reality etc if I have the right show. Bottom line is to seek God first, He will guide you and protect you from things harmful to you, be discerning and be careful not to subconsciously be feeding any unmet desires or convictions. I see your heart in your comment and I pray that God covers you and helps you to enjoy media and entertainment in a way that not only doesn’t obstruct your relationship with Him, but strengthens it. God bless ..
If you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit do not watch it , and of course the enemy will say did God !really say not to watch this show it isn’t really that bad , then after you watch it you feel so weird and guilty . So my friend please please be wise about the things you let into your ear and eyes gates god bless ❤️
Thank you for this video. There is an excellent presentation on music by a man, Christian Berdahl called the "Distraction Dilemna". It exposes the music industry and Contemporary Christian Music. It is a 10 part series. You would be Blessed if you watched this presentation.
I love sci-fi shows. But the moment it starts affecting me I stop. Diablero I tried to watch but couldn't, Sabrina didn't sit right with me. And there are others. The is one on prime gods of America. After watching that I saw how we as people make God's out of things. Not for the faint hearted it messes with u.
The show Lucifer is based On a the comic book that is DC comics he had a crossover with the DC Show The CW Show called ARROW and Riverdale and chilling adventures of Sabrina are based of the Archie comics
I finished watching Tvd on november 2021 and when i started on april 2021, i was a new christian. Idk it would be a problem until i finished. the wierd thing is that i didnt turn away from God, i grew closer to Him
That's exactly how I felt about the Good place so I stopped watching it especially once I found out how the show ends I'm like NO I can definitely live without seeing the rest of it, this isn't it.
I dont get it. What was so horrible about the good place. A logical understanding of what heaven and hell could look like. A sort of comprehension we humans can think of what heaven would look like. Unless you dont like to think, or you dont like to be challenged about your faith. Yea, you wont like the show.
Am I the only one who get down when people misunderstand etc the lord and the word of God, especially when it a show or movie and a lot of people see it.
Yes! So relatable laiyah, all we can do is stay in prayer and be a light and in the darkness so that when people meet us as believers, they get the right perception and understanding of the Lord we serve 💛 God bless ..
Absolutely agree with this especially with the vampire diaries for me personally with was a show I used to watch heavily, but by the grace of God I was enlightened to the fact that it glorifies demonic activity. Praise God Below is a link to a video I think is really helpful for us children of God that encouraged me to stay on the narrow path. ua-cam.com/video/OX75afQqH_s/v-deo.html Especially in regards to graven images.
I have a question🙋♂️. What about criminal minds I love fbi stuff and there’s no super natural stuff except for some of the criminals who have mental issues but there not praising it and it’s real stuff that happens to ppl with mental illnesses and delusions I wanna be an fbi FBI agent for the bau when I grow up and wanna know if it’s okay
Aww well this is a different issue Aleah, the shows I talk about are for pure entertainment, and they deal with a lot of graphic, explicit or dark (demonic) material - we as believers as stated in Philippians 4:8 should think on things that are good, pure, just etc. I think that some of these shows campus be a hindrance to your Christian walk. However I pray that God blesses you and guides you with this desire for this specific career path, because few people can mentally bare the weight of a lot of the issues and scenarios you may come across. Thank you for your comment, I do further encourage you to pray about this and your personal convictions with God for clarity, as well as seeking sound support and guidance from your pastor, family, mentors etc 💛 ..
@@AkuaB oh thank you so much! I have prayed and I just get mixed feelings but I think it’s okay as long as I don’t get obsessed with watching it and it’s not an idol. I have a very strong mental capacity and can handle super graphic things and I’m only about to turn 14 so I don’t think I should worry about my future career rn. God bless❤️🙏🏻
Oooohhh my gosh I was going to post a comment asking about Criminal minds.... I started watching it beggining of this year from season 1... Now I'm on season 7. I've re-dedicated my life because I was a Luke warm Christian and I want to be a hot Christian so I'm taking stock of everything... I'm still undecided about criminal minds but when I got to season 6 I skipped the the demonic episodes "as in the episodes where the murderes where into a cult or where killing cos they believed in the devil or witchcraft, I skip right over those episodes. So idk maybe you can too. That might help create balance and yes to stop binge watching is a must...
Thank you for a great video 🙌 I will try and stay away from those shows! From your list I struggled with HTGAWM. It’s very luring, lustrous and immoral but it’s appealing through lust and thrill which is why I was convicted to stop.
The new Percy Jackson series that's in production. I used to really love it when I was younger, but it was about children of Greek and Roman gods and well...I had to burn all the books I got over the years
Thank you for this comment I was thinking about reading the series I thought it was going to be okay because they are at my school but know I'm not thank you 🙏
@@AkuaB yup it's a blessing I started watching those years back, God has put other type of enjoyment in my life so when stuff like this goes to garbage, I won't be tempted to sin. I just wish other christains could understand that also, that God wants you to have fun but in a positive way. If you ask he will help you
Question so theres this movie I want to watch cuz I see it's free on UA-cam right now! I grew up watching this movie. It's called Aquamarine. About 2 girls who met this other girl who happened to be a "mermaid." But now I'm walking with Christ and I'm wondering, Would it be a good idea to watch it?
I would say stay true to your convictions - if it’s flying some red flags before you watch then it’s probably your convictions kicking in, I’ve been there 😅 some signs to look out for ..Is it glorifying God? Or is it glorifying evil? Does it cause strain/ distance in your relationship with God? Are you hesitant to bring it to God in prayer? I hope this helps ☺️ the fact that you’re being mindful of what you’re watching says that you’re on the right track, God bless sis! ..
@@boldnesskauendji782 right! It's the mermaid thing that's definitely throwing me off from watching it. I know the movie is pretty innocent but I'm not gonna use that "it's just entertainment " excuse to watch something I know wouldn't edify me
The world will always promote the prince of the air. The name Lucifer alone turned me off from the show. The same for Supernatural. Is Sabrina based off (Sabrina the teenage witch). To be honest. I watch shows dealing with the occult aka Dr. Strange, Castlevania (season 1-3, 3 turned me off). My rule of thumb for Christians is if you feel the Holy Spirit convicting you about watching a show just drop them. Shows can be addictive. It took me years to give up South Park. American Gods was around for about 5 years. I only watched a few episodes. I don't have show time. (God protect me). American Gods is about mythical gods (Jesus is considered a myth) in culture. I loved Anansi (I grew up on Anansi stories as a child). They made him a revolutionary god in the show. His character was taken out. I heard the show can be very lude. To be honest some of the shows you mentioned I never heard of (Handmaiden's tale, A good place, etc).
You season 3 is pretty disgusting. I've watched only 7 episodes of it in 2021 and I just recently finish the last three episodes of season three. Theirs a reason why it took me so long to finish the show. Joe and his wife both cheat on each other this season and almost have a foursome with another couple. Also, this show has a lot of F bombs. I'm not watching season 4 whenever it comes out.
2:55 I think thats not the point of the show the point is that most of us don't know what actually happens after we die at least not from a human lense and that regardless of what you believe you should make the earth as much heaven as possible by being a good person and doing good things. Its upto you how to interpret it anyways it fiction and never was it meant be taken as a moral rulebook it just exploring themes so personally i think its ok to watch as a christian. Not to mention the person who wrote the show deos know christian theology and does somewhat interweave it in. Also EUphoria isn't condoning drugs or alchohol abuse its actually speaking against it by showing people the effects of drug abuse through rue because they show the gory and dangerous effect drugs has on rue and those who are close to her like her od episodes its a cautionary tale but as a christian there is too graphic sex sxenes and violence for us to watch it. (However it desn't glorify violence)
@@AkuaB hey what do you think about outer banks? I just want to get ur opinion on it. I think that its ok for me to watch it bc its not me whos sinning its the actors
Riverdale is a no go for me. 👎🏾 blatantly wicked show, Especially the direction they went in after around season 2. Remembering that these characters are meant to be mid-teen teenagers - there is sexually explicit content, rebelliousness, lying, witchcraft and much much more from the random pick and mix bag of Riverdale. That’s just my take on it, I definitely agree that it’s cringy 😩😂 but people are still hooked on it till this day 🤷🏾♀️ God bless ..
I love what a pastor said once, "If you would not be comfortable watching something if Jesus were sitting on the couch watching tv with you then it is NOT for you to be watching".
Like you said, discernment. We have to listen to that still small voice, it never fails us! I have sooo stepped away from things I used to watch and I don't miss them at all. God bless!
Wow! 😅 What a convicting method! Thanks for sharing, God bless ..
extremely convicting😭
@@AkuaB If you check out the IMDb details of American Horror Story you will almost throw up.
@@AkuaB I watch Winx club I'm wondering if that's okay to watch it's a cartoon please leave a answer in your message ✨🙏💫😇✨✝️💖💖
@@AkuaB along with watching the cartoon series called Angel friends so is that a good rating or a bad rating for Angel friends the cartoon 😇✨✝️
These movies portray bad and evil as good which confuses people specially without the knowledge of God.
Definitely! If you don’t have discernment you’ll be swept away with the waves 🌊 ..
I was addicted to watching bad movies with sex, nudity, etc. but after I got saved I have definitely cut those watch habits in half. I actually wanted to watch 3 of these movies and I feel myself slip, and after I watched your video the feeling went away. So I want to thank you and please don't stop. be blessed.
AMEN! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏾 God is so good, God bless 💛..
I noticed something: I got saved but a short while ago I slid back into sin. Temptation literally is everywhere. I talked a lot about Squid Game and watched a movie with a sexual scene and shortly after I began mast*rbating again, which God had freed me from. So guys, as a Christian teen I can say; Guard your heart❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for your vulnerability! Yes, temptation is EVERYWHERE. This is why it’s so important to understand your personal convictions and boundaries, and pray that God gives you strength to bare temptation when it comes (1 Corinthians 10:13 + Mathew 26:41), that the enemy may flee from you, again, thank you for your comment and God bless you ..
Amen! I suffer with M*sterbation :{
But Ik praying for it to go!
““The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Matthew 6:22-24. Goes for shows ❤️😌
Beautiful use of the scripture! Thanks for sharing 😄 ..
Preach! 🙏🏽
After Netflix used "praised satan" to promote the prom series, I couldn't support the platform anymore. So no more Netflix for me and honestly I don't miss it.
Yep, that was a big yikes for me too 🤦🏾♀️ but I wasn’t surprised, some of the content on Netflix is shockingly explicit - for example the Cuties controversy - that sickened me. Blatant sexualisation of children and yet no repercussions. Swept under the rug. Thank you for your comment, God bless ..
Omg! That's awful! What's the show name?
God is real😇🙏🏽

24 secs in and I'm already loving this vibe
Thanks for watching sis! 😌😄 God bless ..
Same 💕
Thanks for this, sis. I stumbled upon your video while searching for answers about if Christians should watch kdrama. You said it so perfectly when you said “it comes to a point in your saved life where your just thinking why am I watching this?!”. So true. As a person who loves film it’s so hard to know the secular entertainment industry is just so worldly. Pray for me cuz I’m so heartbroken that these people have wonderful gifts that there using to love the world 😭
I loved reading this and seeing your heart on the topic Christina, thank you for sharing! It’s such a relatable struggle, especially in this day and age where majority of the mainstream media isn’t enriching to the spirit of a believer, I pray that God uses those with passion and appreciation for film and media to glorify Him and remain steadfast! God bless ..
It's interesting to reflect back on shows I watched as an unbeliever with a fresh spiritual lens now. In Vampire Diaries, the most powerful character ends up being the witch. And, much like with Wednesday, Christians are portrayed as being the absolute worst people in history. That isn't to say that, historically, people haven't carried out heinous acts in the name of God, but supernatural based movies and television series tend to really play into that "Christians are horrible and kill anyone different for fun" trope.
Euphoria...I can't even. I watched one episode and even as an unbeliever at the time my spirit was so grieved. It felt like I was watching some sort of horrific p*rnography on the dark web. To think it was so popular with preteens and young teens!
Yep - it’s really sad, it’s especially wicked as a lot of it is targeted to younger audiences, gradually conditioning their minds and hearts to perversion 😓 God bless ..
Praise be to Yeshuah! My dear sister, I was so disgusted with myself when I watched 2 seasons of You. I felt such darkness and filth in me, disturbing me for a while. I couldn't help quitting it. But , after I ran to our Father, seeking His Spirit, with so much remorse, The Lord helped me feel so stronger and better
Amen, thank you for sharing! I felt the same Holy Spirit conviction on that show, God bless ..
@@AkuaB 💓🙏 Halleluyah! Who said God is silent! We have the One True Living God, Yeshuah , the Son , in the Father, living in us, rescuing us from every trap. May Yahuah bless you and keep u
Same! I watched the first episode and I was shook! 🤢
@@gabrielaguardado6541 Praise be to God! My beautiful sis! Our Lord and Father God would never forsake us when we fall - 147:15
May Yah bless you and keep u in Christ Yeshuah, our Holy One, our All in All. May the Lord bless you and keep u.
season 7 of the vampire diaries was when I realised omds why am I watching this, literally the whole season was about hell, I felt so uncomfortable
Yikes 😳 glad I stopped at season 4, thanks for watching sis! ..
also with Sabrina as soon as I saw it i had a horrible feeling in my stomach
me too, I had some horrible nightmares after watching not even one episode
Sabrina the teenage witch?
Thanks for posting your video. Really enjoyed it. I'd recommend adding to your list tv series such as Spartacus, Ash vs Evil , Gossip Girl , Buffy the vampire slayer, Angel ( two of my fav shows), and many many more. I used to watch a lot of tv growing up. Most of the tv shows I ' ve watched were about supernatural stuff, horror like etc.. I don't blame myself for that although if I could turn back the time I wouldn't watch it. Back then I didn't believe in God, didn't understand christian values. Nowadays I rarely watch something, mostly movies about God and feel much more at peace with it. God bless!!!!
Interesting perspective! I really enjoyed this
Thanks for watching chick! 😄💛..
I regret watching Bridgerton. I never thought much about it until after I watched the same video you mentioned. I thought well this isn’t the show I would want God to come back and see me watching.
Yep 👀 I see where you’re coming from, once you realise what you’re watching, it’s easier to differentiate the wheat from the chaff, God bless Sierra 💛 ..
I actually stopped watching Once upon a time I don’t think I’ll be watching that show again. I’m actually trying to read more biblical fiction books more than watching stuff
Where do you get them books😃😃
@@nicholaschuma6304 mainly on amazon there’s a lot of good ones out there like Cities of Refuge by connilynn cosset Restoration Chronicles another one of my personal favorites is Circle of Honor a Scottish christian historical fiction
Too bad so much biblical fiction is terrible. 😕
Great video! Shows that I don’t watch anymore:
The bachelor
All Real Housewives
Gilmore Girls
Gossip Girl
Grace & Frankie
You
the office -I am on the fence but leaning toward not watching. A lot of “omg”, sex before marriage and in one episode Micheal mentions “what if God is not real” in a joking way and it was uncomfortable.
I no longer watch movies that have explicit sex scenes or any sex scenes, darkness, drug use, cursing, violence, etc. unfortunately I have seen many movies and read many books with darkness and I now know what to stay away from.
Stay true to your convictions 💛 only you and God know your boundaries. I don’t really watch TV shows anymore because of some of the things you mentioned - especially when there is constant explicit or blasphemous content.
Hey, hoping you'll read this. Do you mind telling me why you don't watch Gilmore girls? I really loved that show and I just want to hear your perspective!🤗
@@pollyandrade2125 Hi! sure! I used to LOVE Gilmore Girls and have seen all of the seasons multiple times including the revival. l loved the characters, the town, the clothes and all. I've seen worse so I ultimately thought it was mostly wholesome. After the Lord saved me I started to see everything differently and once my views changed, I couldn't go back. Some of what changed my mind about watching: Lorelai and Rory blaspheme the Lord's name constantly, They lie, treat others poorly at times, sleep with multiple men out of marriage, cheat, and in a couple episodes they mock Jesus. Watching the show as a Christian wasn't fun anymore. Its not a super easy choice because its nostalgic for me too, but its a bad example for me to be looking at. I still want to watch it every year when fallcomes around because that's what I would always do and let the seasons play through until they were done, but its just a fleshly desire I don't fall into.
@@Danimij yessss! i noticed them using the Lord’s name in vein too! at first i tried ignoring my conviction, but lorelei kept rubbing my spirit the wrong way with how disrespectful she was to her parents. i just started watching and i already made it almost 1/3 of the way through season four, but the constant blasphemous jokes and loreleis stubbornness and disrespect/selfish tendencies made me upset haha. 😅
@@naomi5565 yes! Thank God we now notice these things. I used to watch a ton of Gossip Girl too which is even worse.
I believe the Lord is calling me to stop watching shows or any entertainment at all. Time waster, it’s hard but I know it’s the right decision and will get easier once I just follow his lead and do it.
Thank you for sharing your conviction, it can definitely be a big distraction - God bless you and give you strength and wisdom to navigate this next season 😊 ..
@@AkuaB thank you. May the Lord bless and strengthen you as well Sister 💕
I watched euphoria episode 1 and I lost my peace,I had to stop watching to come and see a Christian perspective of the movie because my coconut head might continue watching .
Thank you 🙏
🤣 Thank you for sharing your conviction, May the Lord strengthen you and bless you with clean entertainment to enjoy 😄 ..
Thank you for this video! ❤ A show I also wouldn't watch is: Big bang theory
No problamo! Im glad you enjoyed it, God bless 😄🙏🏾 ..
YOU! Why did I ever watch that show?? Terribly dark and scary.
It sucks you innn 😩 I think a lot of these do 😅💛 ..
Yeah gladly I didn’t watch season 2 lol
Thank you for sharing. I kid you not, watching secular content as a practicing Christian messes up my spirit all the time and suddenly feel distant from God. When I watch godly things I feel at peace and comfortable. Lucifer is one show that I will never ever watch. Netflix just keeps throwing it in my face as a recommendation and I stay firm to not watch. My heart doesn't even yearn to watch it because I know what the show is going to portray from the time it first aired to the world. I watched 2 seasons if YOU and by the 3rd I couldn't anymore. The romanticizing of psychopaths isn't healthy for our minds and not of God either. Content nowadays have become so misleading and evil. I try to watch 7+ and 13+ shows but even those have elements in there that aren't right for Christians. The eyes are the windows to the soul so one should always ask themself: "Is this good for me? What will I gain or learn from it? Does it glorify the Kingdom of God?" This is how we can guard our hearts and mindset to not stray away from God. Talents and gifts were given to us to shine light to the Kingdom of God..whether movies, music, art and etc.
I watched the 1st episode of Lucifer way back, to see how the writers would handle presenting the devil in their show. (I was utterly new to such things, and didn't even know ahead what genre they were going for.) The minute the devil referred to God as his dad, implying that Jesus was the golden child, and he was unfairly cast as the "black sheep" of the family, I said to myself, "they're going the Mormon route. I'm outta here!"
No offense to Mormon folks, themselves. I'm sure there are some who are lovely people. But I've had it drilled into my head since at least preschool that we don't talk to Mormon people about faith. We keep our faith strong, and if we ever waver, we stay far from Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the like.
Yikes, I’m glad your discernment kicked in! 😳 I had pretty much the same experience but I couldn’t get past a few minutes 😅 Yes I find with shows that try to portray the spiritual and biblical to be perverted - there’s always some kind of twisting of the truth, and before you know it you’re rooting for the devil. If it’s not a depiction from God (a Godly, Christian series on the scripture/ spiritual) then it’s best to steer clear 🙅🏾♀️ ..
dude same! some of my friends watched and liked i was like aight let me see it too, naturally i’m a person who hates long seasoned dramas, i was like fine it has 4 or whatever season i’ll try my best to watch i watched one ep, i quite liked it but i just gave up watching the rest coz i was lazy and i am happy i didn’t even continued.
Please don’t speak on Jehovah’s witnesses like you know anything about us. 1. We would never think even once about watching these shows. The only reason I even stumbled upon this video is because I wanted to see what shows she was talking about but we guard our hearts way harder than y’all and that’s why y’all stumble and fall more often than we do…
Just saying… a lot of y’all here talking about falling into sin. Like witnesses that’s not even a thought. We don’t want to be anywhere near Satan. A lot of y’all Protestants are lukewarm and that’s why y’all stumble and fall more often… you know how many Protestants logic is “since I’m already saved I can just sin and do whatever I want?” Y’all the only religion who’s the most hypocrites so please don’t even talk about Mormons. They’re strict and they respect and fear God. Y’all don’t…..
You’ve just inspired me to make one of these!! Ive have quite the list of my own..like drug shows, crime shows and shows that have supernatural themes 😳
There is so much out there to be wary of in the world of entertainment - especially the supernatural these days, all the best with your list and video 😊 God bless ..
The older I've gotten, the less interested I've been I watching things, so I'm good there. My temptation is messed-up fan fiction. Used to read it in my teens and I've been working on trying to pull away from it. I'm writing my own stories instead that have more of Jesus in them than what I've been reading over the years.
Nice list my personal list:
5. Harry Potter (I can see why it’s popular and our hero even is Christ like figure in the end but he’s still a wizard… good or bad that I’m still debating)
4. Invincible ( a good storyline but too much animated bloody violence and I mentally can’t watch a father brutally fight his son in the finale)
3.Lucifer (like you mentioned they turn our enemy the devil into a likable protagonist….)
2. The boys (graphic violence and cynical portrayal and satire of Christianity)
1. Game of Thrones (this has everything in the book of content Christian’s are not to watch. Graphic violence,sex, strong language, I don’t need to see that!)
The Handmaids Tale which was base by Canadian author Margaret Atwood book under same title was about religious dictatorship like how the Taliban with there Muslim extremist rule like what happened in Afghanistan while this one is like Christian Taliban who take away women rights. The TV series I did not watch all of it agree that would represent negative aspect about Christianity instead of show positive side to Jesus love.
Thanks for sharing. :)
but as a christian shouldn't you know better than anyone the good and execially the bad of christianity?
moral: don't expose yourself to anything different than your beliefs
Matthew 6:22-23
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!"
Galatians 5:24
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
excellent list.I also skipped 'How to get away with murder'. Completely amoral and a gateway to such a twisted world view.
Definitely - the problem with a lot of these shows is exactly that, they act as gateways with pleasant signage to seduce viewers into investing time and attention, then, in turn warping your world view. God bless ..
Thank you for this video! I am growing closer to God and I have been trying to remove certain things out of my life. I have thrown out some movies a while ago like gangster movies and movies with a lot of sex and such. I hate movies that are over sexualized and so many shows and movies are like that now. I stay away from those but I am struggling with horror. And I love the vampire diaries 😩. The abuse, the manipulation, the witchcraft, the partner swapping, all of it is wrong but I am so attached to it because I’ve watched it when it first started and have watched all seasons and i just feel sucked in it’s crazy 🤦🏾♀️
pray against it and ask God for help. Rebuke every demonic and fleshly desire to continue watching in Jesus' name. Te fact that you've been "sucked" in in itself should be a HUGE red flag to u. Pray, Fast and renounce. I hope you realize that this battle with the evil one will never end unless you decide to step out and away from temptation. Obviously Holy Spirit is here to help you, so seek Jesus, ask for His help and fight. Don't let it become your normal. I'll be praying for you. Bless you and your family.
Don’t watch anime ! The Lord rescued me from being a slave to it, never going back ! Please don’t watch it! It does not please the Lord
Amen, thank you for sharing your conviction with us, God bless ..
Who would even want to play the role of lucifer that just doesn't sit right with me and makes me so uncomfortable as well as Sabrina it's so demonic
As a Catholic, just want to say we don't believe in salvation by works but I did enjoy the Good place for the concept. I understood it for what it was, a secular take on the afterlife so I'm not confused by it. I'm reading up on philosophical writers and their ideas to understand their takes on the body and spirit and this show seems to take inspiration from concept of Jean Paul Sartre's Hell is other People. There's also a twilight zone episode that has a similar concept. I stopped watching it though for other reasons such as the jokes that make light of sexual sins, the point system thing was quite disturbing for me as someone who struggles with scrupulosity, and it just felt like the story wasn't as compelling or had meat to it after the reveal that they were actually in the bad place.
I don’t watch half the stuff on Netflix but there is one show I still like that has some language and drinking but it’s about family and horses Heartland it’s about a girl who saves abused horses and fix horses with issues the only problem is the lanquage and the drinking part other than that it’s pretty good but me and gran decided to cool off of it a bit for a while
Thanks for this!! So much respect for you
I try to watch Godly things I’m trying not to watch so much stuff any more except for the chosen and biblical movies like that
Love the thumbnail❤
Thank you Benedicte! God bless 💛 ..
We decided with husband to do not have a TV in the house since there is so much polluted media production around. Now, it can also be reached by phone, but i feel is much easier to pick and choose this way.
I didn't know any of the series mentioned, but truly enjoyed your point of view on it, regardless.
Aww thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Yes I see where you’re coming from, I got to the point where I started to be desensitised to certain types of material through ads - so now for me to have more control over what I take in, I mostly use subscriptions on platforms and services or don’t watch/ interact at all. Thank you for sharing and God bless 💛 ..
I must admit I do watch crime stories or action shows of good guy get the bad guys but is danger to watch some of these action shows but even before I was converted I just could not watch horror movies that is not entertainment of seeing graphic killing for fun of it.
Just came across your channel! Girl!!! You are SPEAKING THE TRUTH! I’ve actually never seen anyone bold enough to do this! I know God has blessed you for this. Scripture tells us that satan is the father of lies. And SO many young people are getting sucked into horror, satanic, derogatory shows (and games, actually). I actually began watching Yellowstone (if you know what that is) a few years ago. But I couldn’t get past the vile language. And the family division, the hate, the murder. So I just stopped. I feel like we, as Christians, should take care to keep these things out of our homes. The Bible says to stay away from those things. 13:41 You just said it. You can’t take this into your mind and keep your thoughts fixed on the good things God has for us.
God bless you! 😊❤🙏🏼
It's gotten worse in the past year since this video. I can't find anything to watch it's either too sexual, too murderous, or too demonic. It seems like the occult us trending; so blatant and annoying. I just wanna watch a good show 🙄
Thank you so much for making this video!! I totally agree with you with these shows and Netflix has went dark for sure. I watched YOU and other shoes that at first seemed harmless. It wasn’t until God truly took those scales from my eyes and the conviction came and I immediately cancelled my subscription! Yea it’s a no for me!! I’m curious to hear about your thoughts about Twilight? I was a huge fan because of the romance piece and now as I’m older I’m like it had its own little darkness to it as well.
I just wanted to know what other Christians think of grey’s anatomy because I feel I shouldn’t watch it anymore.
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
James 4:17 Pray about this for sure and seek Godly counsel 🙏🏾 personal conviction is a real thing and if you are feeling convicted about it, it’s better to be obedient than suffer the consequences later, I hope that helped 😊 God bless ..
I used to have no regard for what I watched as long as there weren't too many swears. I always felt a little guilty watching shows like Stranger Things and Riverdale, but I kept doing it. It took me a while to realize that the God didn't want me to watch these things, but not for the reason I thought. I thought that God just didn't want me to have fun, but watching shows like these do bad things to you emotionally and spiritually---God was trying to protect me. These past couple years I've let go of a lot of shows and I'm much better off without them; I'm so glad that the Holy Spirit intervened when it did! Thanks for the video and to anyone who's struggling, I know how you feel! Take it to God and listen to what He has to say.
Amen, amen and amen! Thank you for sharing your convictions, God bless 😊 ..
Can I not watch any princess movies with my kids either they have magic and etc, or talking animals or veggie tales or Toy Story? I’m confused…I’m so confused man and I’m so tired of learning and learning and learning…I’m so tired. And so scared I’ll be a bad mom, and my child will grow up not knowing how to have an imagination without being sinful. I’m so confused. And it takes two people and I have a boyfriend, it takes two people to agree to follow something, I wanna do the right thing and I want him to do the right thing and help lead me with Jesus.
I was gonna get into YOU because of the hype! (I wasnt saved at the time btw) but honestly I just couldnt get into it
Yeah the whole vibe is off 😅🙅🏾♀️ ..
I really loved how to get away with murder but I just stopped one time 😭😂
God was like nope and I could never start back watching it. A lot of the shows I used to watch I just can't get back into.
Yup, that Holy Spirit conviction is intense sometimes! 😅 ..
I feel as if I'm listening to my self speak right now 😳 our opinion on TV shows are so similar and I've watched and not watched many of the same things
I stopped watching tv shows for 6 years and counting. I have noticed that teen dramas are very sexual and portrays love in a lustful ways eg: Twisted and Lincoln heights
Definitely found this! Video coming soon about it 👀 God bless ..
Hey I’m don’t really watch Americans movies but I watch kdrama and Cdrama but I don’t know if I should watch them.
If you feel convicted about it, pray about it sis! ☺️ it’s best to give it a miss if you feel uncomfortable continuing to watch, especially if it’s causing strain in your relationship with God, or you feel like you can’t bring it to God in prayer 💛 ..
I am a Christian, though I have to say i enjoyed the good place. I often use it as a comparison when a talk about why we would even care about heaven because theres some people who feel like it would het boring. Heaven it's is cool to imagine. But the reason why the good place ended with them getting bored was because God wasn't there. Without God, we are not at peace and we would still seek desire and meaning even after death. With God, our purpose is fulfilled and we are satisfied because he made us in a way that we want to worship, we want to be satisfied and we want purpose.
Thanks for your comment - I do agree with you 😊 my views have changed a bit since I made this video 😂 so I can definitely see more sides to a show like the good place and appreciate it for what it is and what it could teach us 👀 God bless! ..
To see the show touched by an angel at the show from the 90s
That show is wild sometimes 😅 haha God bless ..
Handmaid’s tale is based off of a book, and we’re probably about to be in handmaid’s tale to be honest, because of the government mainly being Roe v Wade
I hate American horror story😶 it's so disturbing 😫😩
I can’t stomach horror 😖
Wow never heard of thee shows. I would never watch any scary shows death vampires I don't even watch 20/20. I like comedy funny shows . I hardly watch TV. I can go a week with no tv.i will listen to news and sports stuff. That's about it
what are your thoughts on the tv shows manifest & stranger things? also what about marvel movies? i watched gilmore girls and had to turn it off just because i was starting to compare my life in the fact that i was going through a breakup & the two girls were dating. also i felt it rather boring after a couple watches. so i just stopped watching it because i wasn’t enjoying it… not because i thought it was bad. but the shows i mentioned above are shows/movies that are more my speed. i did go through a phase of loving horror and thriller movies, but i’ve been trying to stay away from those shows recently. i felt very convicted when watching the show “you”. i loved watching it at the time, but it just made me feel gross after watching.
Thank you for sharing Gabby! ☺️ First of all I think it’s wise to share any concerns with God, the Holy Spirit will convict you as He has done with the show “YOU”, to guide you away from harm, or anything that could be detrimental to your spiritual health. And these convictions may vary from person to person. I just want to encourage you because I know how tough it can be, in the search for entertainment and media to enjoy especially as a Christian, it can be draining. I haven’t watched Stranger things before, however it does deal with some darker material from what I’ve heard. I would proceed with caution on that one. With manifest, I have actually watched the first season I believe, however that was quite some time ago so I forget the content of it. I can’t remember anything too graphic happening, however it does deal with manipulation of reality etc if I have the right show. Bottom line is to seek God first, He will guide you and protect you from things harmful to you, be discerning and be careful not to subconsciously be feeding any unmet desires or convictions. I see your heart in your comment and I pray that God covers you and helps you to enjoy media and entertainment in a way that not only doesn’t obstruct your relationship with Him, but strengthens it. God bless ..
If you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit do not watch it , and of course the enemy will say did God !really say not to watch this show it isn’t really that bad , then after you watch it you feel so weird and guilty . So my friend please please be wise about the things you let into your ear and eyes gates god bless ❤️
I have watched all of these shows before I got saved. Lord forgive for all my sins.
He already forgave you my love He loves you so deeply 💝
Shameless is also another really bad one
It is I didn't realize half the digs they put in at jesus until I got saved it's sad
You’re gonna got get a lot of hate and dislike for saying the truth 🖤
I only care about being cancelled from God 🙌🏾😂 .. Amen! 💛 ..
@@AkuaB AMEN!!! ♥♥
Such a needed video!
You wont lose salvation by watching them but you may get demonic attacks.
Thank you for this video. There is an excellent presentation on music by a man, Christian Berdahl called the "Distraction Dilemna". It exposes the music industry and Contemporary Christian Music. It is a 10 part series. You would be Blessed if you watched this presentation.
I love sci-fi shows. But the moment it starts affecting me I stop. Diablero I tried to watch but couldn't, Sabrina didn't sit right with me. And there are others.
The is one on prime gods of America. After watching that I saw how we as people make God's out of things. Not for the faint hearted it messes with u.
The show Lucifer is based
On a the comic book that is DC comics he had a crossover with the DC Show The CW Show called ARROW and Riverdale and chilling adventures of Sabrina are based of the Archie comics
I finished watching Tvd on november 2021 and when i started on april 2021, i was a new christian. Idk it would be a problem until i finished. the wierd thing is that i didnt turn away from God, i grew closer to Him
Not saying you should watch it tho
def 97% of netflix lol, thank You Jesus may God protect all of us through Holy Spirit ❤
Sister,can you make a video about shows that u recommend to watch as a Christian please? ❤
Hey there 😄 I can definitely look into making a video on this! God bless ..
Thanks for sharing 🎊😊💗💗🎊✝️✨
To be honest I definitely just took Lucifer , and the good place out just because of the themes. Obviously we’re bad and didn’t want to support them.
I would not watch On My Block again, but I do reccomend Greater
That's exactly how I felt about the Good place so I stopped watching it especially once I found out how the show ends I'm like NO I can definitely live without seeing the rest of it, this isn't it.
I unfortunately watched all of it 😭
I dont get it. What was so horrible about the good place. A logical understanding of what heaven and hell could look like. A sort of comprehension we humans can think of what heaven would look like.
Unless you dont like to think, or you dont like to be challenged about your faith. Yea, you wont like the show.
That’s my favorite tv show 😭
Am I the only one who get down when people misunderstand etc the lord and the word of God, especially when it a show or movie and a lot of people see it.
Yes! So relatable laiyah, all we can do is stay in prayer and be a light and in the darkness so that when people meet us as believers, they get the right perception and understanding of the Lord we serve 💛 God bless ..
this is not what to see on NETFLIX this is what I have seen on Netflix and it was very good Violet Evergarden
Absolutely agree with this especially with the vampire diaries for me personally with was a show I used to watch heavily, but by the grace of God I was enlightened to the fact that it glorifies demonic activity.
Praise God
Below is a link to a video I think is really helpful for us children of God that encouraged me to stay on the narrow path.

Especially in regards to graven images.
Greater is a good show, Cobra Kai is pretty clean too so far ( im on Season 2)
God Bless you all and have a Blessed day and stay Blessed and stay safe Jesus is coming back soon and we need to be ready Jesus loves you all Amen 🙏
Amen!
I have a question🙋♂️. What about criminal minds I love fbi stuff and there’s no super natural stuff except for some of the criminals who have mental issues but there not praising it and it’s real stuff that happens to ppl with mental illnesses and delusions I wanna be an fbi FBI agent for the bau when I grow up and wanna know if it’s okay
Aww well this is a different issue Aleah, the shows I talk about are for pure entertainment, and they deal with a lot of graphic, explicit or dark (demonic) material - we as believers as stated in Philippians 4:8 should think on things that are good, pure, just etc. I think that some of these shows campus be a hindrance to your Christian walk. However I pray that God blesses you and guides you with this desire for this specific career path, because few people can mentally bare the weight of a lot of the issues and scenarios you may come across. Thank you for your comment, I do further encourage you to pray about this and your personal convictions with God for clarity, as well as seeking sound support and guidance from your pastor, family, mentors etc 💛 ..
@@AkuaB oh thank you so much! I have prayed and I just get mixed feelings but I think it’s okay as long as I don’t get obsessed with watching it and it’s not an idol. I have a very strong mental capacity and can handle super graphic things and I’m only about to turn 14 so I don’t think I should worry about my future career rn. God bless❤️🙏🏻
Oooohhh my gosh I was going to post a comment asking about Criminal minds.... I started watching it beggining of this year from season 1... Now I'm on season 7. I've re-dedicated my life because I was a Luke warm Christian and I want to be a hot Christian so I'm taking stock of everything... I'm still undecided about criminal minds but when I got to season 6 I skipped the the demonic episodes "as in the episodes where the murderes where into a cult or where killing cos they believed in the devil or witchcraft, I skip right over those episodes. So idk maybe you can too. That might help create balance and yes to stop binge watching is a must...
Jesus loves you and died so you can have eternal life. Repent and turn to Him because He is coming soon! He loves you…
Thank you for a great video 🙌 I will try and stay away from those shows! From your list I struggled with HTGAWM. It’s very luring, lustrous and immoral but it’s appealing through lust and thrill which is why I was convicted to stop.
Amen! A lot of entertainment is not built for a life that’s trying to glorify Christ 💛..
hi im wondering if you have recommendations we only have Hulu because my family likes it and i was wanting Christian friendly shows ? :)
I’m thinking about doing a video on this! 😄 keep your eyes peeled ..
I recommend 7th Heaven
You could watch Highway to Heaven, Father Dowling Mysteries, the 700 Club, Amen and Touched by an Angel.
What would you say about The Office?
I have only read the book handmaid's tale.
And how would god feel about the cartoon show My Life As a Teenage Robot or does he hate robots to
I don’t think god hates robots I think it would be ok but it’s my opinion.
The new Percy Jackson series that's in production. I used to really love it when I was younger, but it was about children of Greek and Roman gods and well...I had to burn all the books I got over the years
Oh dear, definitely some shaky territory 😬 ..
Thank you for this comment I was thinking about reading the series I thought it was going to be okay because they are at my school but know I'm not thank you 🙏
But there are a lot of nollywood stuff and asian dramas that's are not that horrible. I mostly watched those because most of America TV has gone crazy
Yep, western tv is definitely more explicit and uncensored than other genres 😅 I’m glad you found something good to watch! God bless ..
@@AkuaB yup it's a blessing I started watching those years back, God has put other type of enjoyment in my life so when stuff like this goes to garbage, I won't be tempted to sin. I just wish other christains could understand that also, that God wants you to have fun but in a positive way. If you ask he will help you
No one should watch season 5 of riverdale without caution it gets really bad
I don’t really think about hype anyway
Question so theres this movie I want to watch cuz I see it's free on UA-cam right now! I grew up watching this movie. It's called Aquamarine. About 2 girls who met this other girl who happened to be a "mermaid." But now I'm walking with Christ and I'm wondering, Would it be a good idea to watch it?
I would say stay true to your convictions - if it’s flying some red flags before you watch then it’s probably your convictions kicking in, I’ve been there 😅 some signs to look out for ..Is it glorifying God? Or is it glorifying evil? Does it cause strain/ distance in your relationship with God? Are you hesitant to bring it to God in prayer? I hope this helps ☺️ the fact that you’re being mindful of what you’re watching says that you’re on the right track, God bless sis! ..
@@AkuaB thank you sis! God bless you too!
@@Vivi-ex4jb you should look up the origin of mermaids and in the aquamarine movie the two characters “pray to the ocean god”
If you are not sure don't watch. Especially mermaids. In African culture they depict or are Evil spirits. Especially don't let kids watch it.
@@boldnesskauendji782 right! It's the mermaid thing that's definitely throwing me off from watching it. I know the movie is pretty innocent but I'm not gonna use that "it's just entertainment " excuse to watch something I know wouldn't edify me
I would NOT recommend Gossip Girl, i watched one episode and it was disgusting 🤢😭
It is not for the faint hearted 😳 that show does not shield you from anything explicit 🤦🏾♀️ God bless ..
Do you mean the reboot or the original? Because the original is pretty fine compared to the gross reboot
So yeah, I always thought. Vampire diaries were very boring in my opinion.
Please do a video on shows you do watch.
You may have read my mind Teyise 👀☺️ Keep an eye out, God bless ..
The world will always promote the prince of the air. The name Lucifer alone turned me off from the show. The same for Supernatural. Is Sabrina based off (Sabrina the teenage witch). To be honest. I watch shows dealing with the occult aka Dr. Strange, Castlevania (season 1-3, 3 turned me off). My rule of thumb for Christians is if you feel the Holy Spirit convicting you about watching a show just drop them. Shows can be addictive. It took me years to give up South Park. American Gods was around for about 5 years. I only watched a few episodes. I don't have show time. (God protect me). American Gods is about mythical gods (Jesus is considered a myth) in culture. I loved Anansi (I grew up on Anansi stories as a child). They made him a revolutionary god in the show. His character was taken out. I heard the show can be very lude. To be honest some of the shows you mentioned I never heard of (Handmaiden's tale, A good place, etc).
Not a fan of Horror anyways not fun never liked superhero movies either
You season 3 is pretty disgusting. I've watched only 7 episodes of it in 2021 and I just recently finish the last three episodes of season three. Theirs a reason why it took me so long to finish the show. Joe and his wife both cheat on each other this season and almost have a foursome with another couple. Also, this show has a lot of F bombs. I'm not watching season 4 whenever it comes out.
Oh my goodness 😫 yep - glad I stopped watching when I did. It’s a whole mess ..
2:55 I think thats not the point of the show the point is that most of us don't know what actually happens after we die at least not from a human lense and that regardless of what you believe you should make the earth as much heaven as possible by being a good person and doing good things. Its upto you how to interpret it anyways it fiction and never was it meant be taken as a moral rulebook it just exploring themes so personally i think its ok to watch as a christian. Not to mention the person who wrote the show deos know christian theology and does somewhat interweave it in. Also EUphoria isn't condoning drugs or alchohol abuse its actually speaking against it by showing people the effects of drug abuse through rue because they show the gory and dangerous effect drugs has on rue and those who are close to her like her od episodes its a cautionary tale but as a christian there is too graphic sex sxenes and violence for us to watch it. (However it desn't glorify violence)
I couldnt even watch 5 minutes of euphoria😂 i tried months ago then decided it wasnt for me
😶 It is a very explicit show, not for the faint hearted or those in Christ 😅 God bless ..
@@AkuaB Yeah. God bless you too!💕
@@AkuaB hey what do you think about outer banks? I just want to get ur opinion on it. I think that its ok for me to watch it bc its not me whos sinning its the actors
Yes, same thing for me
Is Riverdale evil tho? I can't decide to me it just seems like a weird cringey teen drama, I just don't know.
Riverdale is a no go for me. 👎🏾 blatantly wicked show, Especially the direction they went in after around season 2. Remembering that these characters are meant to be mid-teen teenagers - there is sexually explicit content, rebelliousness, lying, witchcraft and much much more from the random pick and mix bag of Riverdale. That’s just my take on it, I definitely agree that it’s cringy 😩😂 but people are still hooked on it till this day 🤷🏾♀️ God bless ..
I used to watch them I regret it I am sorry jusus please forgive me
i just watch anime now😭. i’m on tvd, but i’m almost finished so i might as well just finish it.
I hear ya, it can be hard to put down a show you’ve invested into, I’ve heard that k dramas are less explicit too 🙆🏾♀️😄 ..
@@AkuaB they are. Most international shows are depending on where it's from. Kdrama. Cdrama. Hindu films. Etc.
It takes 10 episodes for them to hold hands and 20 episodes for them to kiss .
@@AkuaB YESS KDRAMAS. i want to get into those too. i’ve heard the slow burn is amazing!
@@shonestar7266 THE SLOW BURNNNN.
