![]() “That’s why we’re so thankful for Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross,” she continued. We don’t actually want God to give us justice because that would mean we would go to hell and we would be judged and condemned. “In the biblical definition it would be something like getting what’s due. “When culture talks about justice they’re not talking about the Biblical definition of justice,” she said. ![]() But it’s a really sad commentary on the state of our culture.”Ĭhilders pointed out that while cancel culture and social justice may sound good, they do not uphold a biblical view of justice. As get canceled maybe it’ll provide a seed bed for the gospel because that’s where they can ultimately find redemption. ![]() “It’s like you make that one mistake, you say that wrong thing, it’s over for you. “Redemption is not something we see in cancel culture,” she added. We want the guy to come back to the lord and find redemption.” Paul puts a guy out of the church, he says, ‘I’m delivering him over to Satan that his soul may be saved,’ but the ultimate goal of that was to redeem the guy. “The Bible, it does talk about protecting the church from false teachers, from unrepentant sin. ![]() “They lose followers, they lose their jobs in many cases, their livelihood, and I think that this is something that is very antithetical to the gospel,” she continued. “We have this phenomenon where you know even people are going back into people’s old tweets and facebook posts and finding something from six years ago and then they blast it out and then that person gets canceled effectively. I think it’s largely possible because of the platforms of social media with that many people having access to talk about you, to you, at you, and tag you,” she says said. “Cancel culture is this phenomenon we’re seeing right now. “I think going into those arenas as Christians is so vital and to do good quality content too.”Ĭhilders also addressed the recent culture craze of canceling celebrities and public figures without showing grace. “In fact, a bunch of my apologist friends are starting to go on TikTok and just answering short skeptical questions,” she said. Instead of walling off culture, Childers and Cameron agreed that the Bible tells us to go out into the world with the good news. We’re saying okay does that line up with reality? Does that line up with scripture? What is this show wanting me to take away? What are they wanting me to believe when I walk away? I think that’s a much better way to engage with entertainment.” “It doesn’t mean you can’t watch it, but we want to make sure that we’re thinking, that we’re not just absorbing. “We’re living in a time, and we always have, where Christians need to be really critical about what they’re taking in,” she continued. “I think that’s a much better way to go about engaging with secular entertainment than just sort of isolating ourselves off.” “I try to teach my kids that, no matter what we watch, we’re looking for, what is the worldview of the show? What’s the message? What are the heroes like? What are the villains like? How does that compare to scripture?” Childers told Cameron. However, Childers encouraged Christians to be active participants in discerning what content is in the movies, TV shows, and other media that they consume. ‘What Does The Bible Say?’: ZOEGirl’s Alisa Childers and Kirk Cameron Discuss Faith, Entertainment and CultureĬhristian singer and apologist Alisa Childers recently sat down with Kirk Cameron on the TAKEAWAYS show about how what God says in the Bible intersects with popular hot-button issues in American culture.Ĭhilders, a member of the Christian band ZOEgirl, is no stranger to the entertainment and the music industry.
