Scrolling through social media or listening to the latest podcasts may seem like harmless entertainment

today. Yet for Christians who lack spiritual discernment, these platforms can become powerful channels

through which Satan’s deception spreads and takes root.

​

Over the last few years, tuning into podcasts to listen to what popular celebrities, cultural figures, and

hosts are saying has dramatically shifted from a casual hobby to a massive daily habit. Recent media

studies show that daily listeners spend up to 5 hours a day consuming all forms of audio, with a large part

of that time dedicated solely to long-form podcast episodes.

​

This habit, I believe, has led many Christian listeners to substitute good sound Bible teaching and

preaching for entertaining podcasters who engage with the cultural and political grievances of our time.

Naturally, the more a person devotes themselves to listening to someone for hours on end, the more

comfortable they will become with that person, often subconsciously lowering their guard and beginning

to trust them like a personal friend.

​

Why do I believe this sudden shift is so critical to point out? Primarily because it explains why so many Christians are abandoning their traditional stance on Israel and shifting their focus to all of a sudden attack and oppose dispensationalism.
