Secular TV is Corrupting Our Christian Children

The written version of this teaching is on its way. In the meantime, watch it here.

The leaven is subtle. As the enemy subtly separates morality from its true source—God—in the minds of children, a dangerous seed is planted. This subtle deception doesn’t require kids to reject morality outright; it simply encourages them to detach it from Jesus Christ, the true giver of righteousness. Over time, this distortion can grow into a worldview that bears the rotten fruit of compromise and spiritual decay. It seeps into adulthood, and then far too many even follow this corrupt philosophy all the way to the grave.

But not all shows are corrupt. Below are some edifying TV shows that keep Christ at the center and help children grow in truth and faith:

The Witness Trilogy: God With Us, The Messengers, To Every Nation This powerful three-part series closely follows the Spirit and message of Scripture. It doesn’t shy away from portraying persecution, and most scenes are taken directly from the Bible. Where creative license is used, it remains consistent with God’s Word—something critically lacking in many children's Christian shows. Suitable for children and adults alike.

Jesus Life Together In addition to a full series of animated Bible-based episodes, this website also offers excellent free Christian music. The animations walk through the entire Bible, presenting lessons and stories in a faithful, child-friendly way. While the animation is simple and geared toward younger children, the spiritual depth is strong. Our family has been richly blessed by this resource: https://jesuslifetogether.com

Let’s be intentional about what our children watch. What goes into their hearts matters.

Proverbs 22:6 King James Version 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
