Day 289 Be Careful What You Celebrate | Isaiah 5:20

Send us a text When culture hands us a mask, we ask a harder question: what are we actually celebrating? Guided by Isaiah 5:20, we take a clear-eyed look at how easy it is to label darkness as harmless fun and to shrug at what God calls good. I share why discernment matters for ordinary choices, why entertainment can quietly reshape our appetites, and how set-apart living isn’t about fear or pride—it’s about love, clarity, and a heart aligned with God.

When culture hands us a mask, we ask a harder question: what are we actually celebrating? Guided by Isaiah 5:20, we take a clear-eyed look at how easy it is to label darkness as harmless fun and to shrug at what God calls good. I share why discernment matters for ordinary choices, why entertainment can quietly reshape our appetites, and how set-apart living isn’t about fear or pride—it’s about love, clarity, and a heart aligned with God.
We walk through the tension many feel in October, especially around Halloween, and we don’t settle for vague talk. Instead, we name the spiritual reality, consider the stories we normalize, and explore humble, practical ways to step back from what grieves God while stepping toward what brings life. You’ll hear a simple, courageous prayer to realign your loves, plus ideas for replacing risky habits with hopeful practices: Scripture that renews your mind, community that strengthens your resolve, and rhythms that cultivate joy without flirting with darkness.
If you’ve wondered how to navigate cultural traditions without numbing your conscience—or how to teach your family that delight thrives in the light—this conversation offers a straight path forward. Listen for a sober warning, an honest examination, and a gentle nudge toward holiness that feels like freedom. If the message helps you see more clearly, share it with a friend, subscribe for daily spiritual guidance, and leave a review to help others find the show.
Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
