What Should We Watch Tonight?

Hollywood veteran Ted Baehr speaks from decades of theological thought on viewing film and television in an age of endless accessibility. How should we (Christian families, singles or dating) be thinking and asking questions about:

• The content we stream and the profound impact it has on our hearts and minds?
• Could intentionally choosing redemptive narratives be a powerful, yet overlooked, facet of our spiritual discipleship?
• Beyond mere "screen time," how can parents discern and select movies and shows that build up their family?
• Are we truly challenging ourselves to be more spiritually discerning and aware of the subtle, yet powerful, influence content can have on our faith?
• How do we cultivate meaningful conversations around media, transforming passive consumption into opportunities for spiritual growth and discernment within our homes and relationships?
