In this episode, Pastor Mike responds to a practical question: Is it okay for Christians to watch scary movies?
He explains that while the Bible doesn’t directly address horror films, it does give guiding principles for what we should focus on—especially in Philippians 4:8, which calls believers to dwell on what is pure, lovely, and honorable.
Pastor Mike shares his personal conviction of avoiding scary movies, especially in raising his family, due to their potential effects like fear, desensitization, and even glorifying evil or the demonic. At the same time, he acknowledges that this can be a matter of Christian liberty, where believers must use wisdom and discernment.
This teaching challenges Christians to think carefully about their entertainment and whether it aligns with a God-honoring mindset.
