Media Challenge

How much does media affect your life? The songs you hear, the movies you watch, and the games you play... Sure you can "handle" them, but are their messages really the kind that you should be hearing?

There's a free 30-day Full Tilt Media Challenge that will help you focus solely on God-pleasing media for a month. Then, try going back to your old music albums and other media, and get a better picture on how they've been affecting your life.

I first came across this concept a few years ago. Before one summer, I was pretty good at listening to clean music. But then after working a few weeks while listening to my friend's CDs and preferred radio station, I was shocked to find myself subconsciously adding crude comments and swearing. I found that media really does affect your life.

I'm not telling you to restrict yourself solely to christian music and christian films... just to create that conscious filter that is sensitive to what media you should, or shouldn't, be consuming.

Yeah, definitely a good challenge. We are influenced so much by what the media tells us nowadays that it's blended and falsely projected what is right and wrong and what is socially acceptable. I love christian music just 'cause it's got positive messages and isn't flooded with sex, messages of "getting with girls/guys", self-centeredness and stuff, which seems to have innondated mainstream radio nowadays. Heheh, so yeah, for me, christian music all the way. woohoo! :)
