When I began following Jesus, one of the most noticeable changes in my life was how the things I listened to and watched started to impact my heart. Did you know that the content we consume daily—words, songs, and messages—shapes the way we think, feel, and even respond to life? I also began to notice how conversations in my usual social circles revolved around popular shows or the latest songs, and, honestly, I just wasn’t interested anymore. It became clear to me that the company we keep plays a significant role in our faith journey. Relationships can either draw us closer to God or subtly pull us away. As I started choosing to watch Christian shows, movies, and listen to uplifting music, I felt a shift—my heart felt lighter, the lyrics resonated deeply, and my spirit felt encouraged. What I realised is this: when we surround ourselves with people and content that honor God, our relationships and daily life become a source of strength, constantly reminding us of His love and keeping us focused on His path.
Music That Builds Your Spirit
Christian music isn’t just about worship songs — it’s about encouragement. There are songs for every mood: joy, struggle, hope, healing, even dance songs you can work out to! Once upon a time I did not know this! Whether you love modern pop, country, or acoustic sounds, there’s Christian music that will speak right to your heart.
Listening to songs that remind you of God’s promises can lift your spirit, especially on hard days.
Another incredible aspect of Christian music is its ability to bring people together. From church services to live concerts and online communities, it creates a shared space for worship and connection. It’s a powerful way to bond with others who share your faith, celebrating God’s love as one voice.
Television That Inspires
Switching to Christian television doesn’t mean giving up entertainment — it means choosing shows and movies that leave you feeling peaceful, not drained. There are many wonderful series, films, and YouTube channels that explore forgiveness, love, and redemption.
They remind you that you’re not alone — that faith and real life can coexist beautifully.
Christian television also provides a powerful way to strengthen your spiritual journey. With inspiring sermons, uplifting worship music, and real-life testimonies, it offers a source of encouragement and wisdom to help navigate life’s challenges. These programs serve as a daily reminder of God’s presence and purpose in your life.
Small Changes, Big Difference
It might seem like a lot to change, but you don’t have to change everything overnight. Start by adding one new playlist or devotional show into your routine. The more you fill your mind with light, the more peace you’ll feel in your spirit.
Final Encouragement
Choosing Christian music and media is a gentle way to keep God close, even in the background of your everyday life. I love playing Christian music in the car, or when I'm cleaning the house, it makes me feel so uplifted. You can find heaps of albums and playlists on Amazon Music or Apple Music, give it a go, I guarantee you'll be surprised!
