In this video, Pastor Matthew Everhard exposes how media, universities, politics, and cultural pressure subtly brainwash Christians into adopting unbiblical worldviews. Drawing directly from Colossians 2:8, he explains how empty philosophy, human tradition, and secular ideologies corrode our ability to think like faithful followers of Christ. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by toxic media, confused by partisan politics, or uneasy about what your education is really teaching you, this video is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: -How the modern world catechizes believers without them realizing it -Why Christians must actively protect and renew the mind -The biblical “three-legged stool” of worldview formation: personal devotion, family worship, and the local church -Why media monopolies distort reality—and what to do instead -How reading the old dead theologians exposes modern blind spots -The dangers of uncritical partisan politics for Christian thinking -Why university students must approach secular education with biblical skepticism -The three logical fallacies every Christian must learn to spot -How to think like a true Christian philosopher, not a cultural parrot Pastor Everhard also connects these ideas to his book Bold as a Lion, calling believers to courage, clarity, and faithfulness in an increasingly hostile and confusing world. 👉 Subscribe for biblical teaching, Christian worldview analysis, theology, and cultural commentary from a Reformed, Bible-believing perspective. 👍 Like this video if you care about truth, clarity, and faithful Christian thinking. 💬 Comment below: What cultural blind spots do you think Christians struggle with most today? 📖 Referenced Scripture: Colossians 2:8 📚 Book Mentioned: Bold as a Lion (available on Amazon) 🎓 About the speaker: Pastor of Gospel Fellowship PCA (near Pittsburgh) and Adjunct Professor at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (RPTS) Keywords / SEO Tags: Christian worldview, biblical thinking, brainwashing media, Christian philosophy, Colossians 2:8 explained, Christian response to culture, Reformed theology, Christian discipleship, secular education critique, Christian politics, cultural discernment, renewing the mind, biblical worldview training, Christian logic, apologetics (1) MY CHURCH Gospel Fellowship PCA - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY4sKhJMv8-7nmtTiHwAsLA Gospel Fellowship PCA Website - https://www.gospelfellowshippca.org/ Gospel Fellowship PCA Podcast - Spotify: Gospel Fellowship Presbyterian Church (2) Study at RPTS Seminary! https://studyatrpts.com/index.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=MatthewEverhard_CTA (3) MY BOOKS: Worshiptainment - https://amzn.to/4040jPQ A Theology of Joy - https://amzn.to/3tUfBZO Souls: How Jesus Saves Sinners - https://amzn.to/3f233s6 AUDIBLE: Souls: How Jesus Saves Sinners - https://amzn.to/3VT7wN9 Holy Living: Jonathan Edwards's 70 Resolutions - https://amzn.to/38fl4vX Hold Fast the Faith: A Devotional Commentary on the Westminster Confession - https://amzn.to/3Bco9cI Unknown: The Extraordinary Influence of Ordinary Christians - https://amzn.to/38hiQwg (4) SOCIAL MEDIA Twitter - @matt_everhard Instagram - matthew_everhard Email Me: doctor + everhard (all one word) at gmail dot you know Note - this channel contains affiliate links.
