Have you ever paused to consider how deeply social media is shaping your perception of what's normal and acceptable? Dive into a crucial discussion on the Forge Armour podcast as we tackle cultural desensitization and its influence on our spiritual lives. Reflecting on Isaiah 5:20, we explore the necessity of filtering media consumption through a lens of faith, especially as we strive to live according to spiritual values in a world often contrary to our beliefs. Whether you're navigating personal struggles or just trying to maintain your moral compass, this episode is dedicated to encouraging discernment and spiritual awareness in the digital age.

Join us in emphasizing the importance of spiritual preparedness as we face the challenges of everyday life. Drawing inspiration from scripture, we discuss how to "armor up" daily against the relentless adversities of a culture that normalizes violence and indulgence. From battling temptations to overcoming emotional hurdles such as depression and anxiety, we provide a roadmap for equipping yourself with spiritual defense mechanisms. Stay encouraged and stay prayed up, as we assess the media we consume and ensure it aligns with our faith. God bless, and take care!
