## Resource

Does the Bible shape how you feel about culture, or how you see culture? In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh reacts to the GRAMMYs, Billie Eilish’s “No one is illegal on stolen land” moment and Jelly Roll’s bold, Jesus-centered acceptance speech, and uses Scripture to show the difference between using the Bible as a mirror and as a lens (James 1) for evaluating what’s happening in the world. You’ll also hear a clear contrast between performative courage that wins applause and real courage that risks something, plus why Romans 1 explains a culture that celebrates lawlessness while calling biblical conviction “hate.” You’ll learn: The two ways Christians must use the Bible: mirror vs lens (James 1) Why “stolen land” talking points collapse under basic history and logic How selective outrage gets weaponized to advance an agenda Why “you don’t live in a fascist dictatorship” if dissent gets standing ovations Romans 1’s warning: a society that approves what God condemns What Jelly Roll’s testimony reveals about the power of Scripture, repentance, and public witness The difference between conservative Christians vs Christian conservatives 💻 Join Live Free Nation: If these bonus reaction episodes are helpful, drop a comment on YouTube: your feedback tells us whether to keep doing them.
