Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, takes a look at the impact world-renowned pop singer, Taylor Swift, is having on generations of young people. The lyrics to her songs are vulgar and mock God and Christians. It is one thing to expose young people to lyrics that are different than what Christians believe, but it is another thing to expose them to lyrics that actually mock what Christians believe. Dr. Hall acknowledges that many Christians and their children listen to Swift’s music and uses this fact to ask what true Christians are. Dr. Hall argues that God does not actually want us to be good but is calling us to be much more. It is pointed out that being a good person is not what gets you to heaven. Dr. Hall discusses how all Christians are called to make disciples and that means we must talk to others about Jesus.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, analyzes comments made by rapper and record producer, Snoop Dogg on the podcast, “It’s giving.” Apparently Snoop Dogg was taken aback by a scene in the children’s movie, Lightyear, that features a lesbian couple kissing and discussing their baby. His profanity laced comments made it clear that he did not think this kind of content is appropriate in children’s movies. Dr. Hall uses this platform to talk about children being targeted in movies, books and libraries by the LBGTQ community. He points out how homosexual lifestyles are permanently embedded in our society and then describes how parents and grandparents should be responding to this environment. It is pointed out that sexual brokenness is all around us and for that reason we should be preparing our children to understand that God is calling his followers live different from what others choose to do.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the role of fruits in the creation story. He explains the difference between fruits and vegetables and the important role of fruits in the lives of humans. Dr. Hall points out that God commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of good and knowledge in the midst of the garden of Eden. He recounts the biblical story of Eve being tempted by the serpent to eat from this forbidden tree that resulted in both Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. It is pointed out that the Bible often uses the metaphor, fruit, to describe the produce of our lives. Dr. Hall explores the fruits of the spirit as described in Scripture. The act of love and grace exhibited on the cross means that Jesus owns us and has the right to expect that we will bear fruit.
