EXPERT SERIES: Taylor Swift & Awaken Church - Part 1

For this episode I'll talk about Taylor on two levels...#1 As herself, an entertainer not worth listening to. #2 As an icon representing the entertainment industry, and representing those who believe they are Christians but speak, behave, and believe lies at a foundational level.

With Awaken church I'll do the same. #1 I'll talk about their false teachings, but #2 I'll also speak about them as an icon representing the types of churches who preach incorrect doctrine and lead people astray but with the best of intentions and lots of charm.

There are so many people lately that I'm learning do not believe in basic Christian beliefs like the exclusivity of Christ, that he values pre-born children and hates their murder. How is this happening?! It's like all the rocky soil and thorny soil people are showing their fruits, or lack thereof. Can we say they aren't Christians? Can we judge them by their fruits? And what happens at the corporate church level to develop these false converts? And also, if we're not gonna listen to Taylor Swift with joy anymore, what can we listen to? Should we drop all the singers who are sinners? Should we take a vow of silence and become sad, non-music listening souls who occasionally dabble in hymns? Let's talk about it!
