Hey, I’m Jasmin Patterson! I’m a minister, Bible teacher, content creator, singer-songwriter, and worship leader with a passion to help both seekers and believers discover and grow a genuine relationship with Jesus. To that end, I host the Everyday Walk podcast, serve as a staff writer at Christian music website NewReleaseToday, and work in college ministry. I live in Kansas City, MO with my pug, and love all things music, entertainment, and pop culture, books, and a good cup of tea. The Everyday Walk podcast provides practical teaching to guide and equip your everyday walk with Jesus. Each episode will clarify biblical topics, answer your questions about the Christian life, and equip you to faithfully follow Jesus in everyday life.

If you grew up in Church like I did, you know Christians listening to “secular music” (or engaging any type of secular entertainment) or being a secular artist/entertainer can be somewhat of a controversial topic. In this episode, we unpack a biblical perspective on “secular” or mainstream arts and entertainment–art and entertainment that is not overtly faith-based or clearly communicating a Christian message.

We’ll answer three questions about secular entertainment: Is it sinful? Is it edifying? Is it God-glorifying? These principles apply not just to music but to all forms of entertainment–shows, movies, books, video games, podcasts, etc.

In this episode, I talk about how Christians should handle personal conviction issues and matters of conscience in the areas of life and conduct that don't seem so clear. I define what a personal conviction or personal conscience issue is according to Scripture and together we learn three biblical principles to help you discern your own personal convictions and interact well with other Christians who hold different ones.

If you've ever wondered things like should Christians enjoy "secular" entertainment (like music, movies, and video games), should Christians drink alcohol in moderation, should Christians have tattoos, or what physical boundaries Christians should have in a dating relationship, this study will give you some general principles how Jesus followers should approach those kinds of questions.
