How to Discern Christian Content Online

There is no shortage of Christian content online these days, but a Christian label does not mean something is necessarily biblical, and in an age when Scripture and self-promotion are often blended together, the necessity to exercise discernment is more relevant than ever. Using social media with a critical eye is not about being suspicious or looking for error for its own sake, but about being so rooted in the truth that we are able to recognize what is subtly distorted, and what simply borrows Christian language. This video examines the responsibility of Christian viewers to test what they hear, evaluate what is being emphasized or minimized, and consider how online content shapes their understanding of Scripture, the gospel, obedience, holiness, and Christ Himself. 0:00 Intro 1:43 What is discernment 4:55 Hi Bella 5:02 Why this matters 9:09 Content vs context 10:16 Discernment takes time 11:06 Hi Bella 11:36 Practical questions to ask 15:43 Self-reflection 17:32 How do we actually grow? 19:41 Ciao Bella! ----- I hope this video encouraged you today - if it did and you'd like to see more like it, be sure to SUBSCRIBE!
