🌿 EPISODE 9: Culture vs Christ – The Gray Areas We Never Talk About 🌿
In this episode of HOLY & THE HUSTLE PODCAST, we’re diving into one of the hardest yet most relevant conversations for believers today — the gray areas.
What happens when culture and Christ collide?
How do we navigate those things that aren’t directly spelled out in Scripture but surround our daily lives — entertainment, fashion, trends, social media, habits, and more?
Often, Christians either go into extremes:
👉 Total rejection of culture (legalism)
👉 Or full acceptance without discernment (compromise)
But what does the Bible really say about living set apart while still engaging with the world around us?
💡 In this episode we talk about:
Why gray areas exist in the first place
The danger of letting culture define our convictions
Biblical wisdom on music, movies, fashion, trends & lifestyle
The call to discernment and testing everything against God’s Word
Living in freedom but not using freedom as an excuse to sin
Practical ways to draw boundaries and stay rooted in Christ
📖 Bible Verses We Discussed:
1. Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
2. 1 Corinthians 10:23 – “All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial.
3. Colossians 3:17 – “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
4. Matthew 6:24 – “No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and money.”
5. Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
This isn’t just a rulebook conversation — it’s about cultivating a heart posture that longs to honor Christ in every area of life. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about how close we can get to the world without falling, but how close we can stay to Jesus while living in the world.
