Pick and Choose: The Dangers of Selective Faith and Fandom

In this episode, we dive into the habit of ignoring certain parts of fandom—whether it's pretending Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull never happened or dismissing the Star Wars sequels. But what happens when we apply that same pick-and-choose mentality to our faith? Join us as we explore the dangers of selective belief, where Christians accept the easy and trendy parts of the Gospel while ignoring the challenging truths. We'll pull examples from pop culture and look at what the Bible says about living out the whole truth of our faith, not just the parts we like. Plus, we'll discuss how ignoring the full story—whether in fandom or in faith—affects us in the long run. Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation!
