So should Christians even watch these shows?
Lisa: I’ve watched a few of these shows to be aware of what my daughters and students are watching. I want to be culturally literate, but I just need a sampling, not a steady diet of such shows to be knowledgeable about this trend.
As radical as it sounds, for the most part I’d say we shouldn’t watch reality television. In fact, there aren’t many healthy options on TV—period. Part of television’s intent is to create discontent. The whole point is to bring an audience to the advertisers, and they’re bent on convincing us we’re not whole without their product. Often we just assume television is okay because most Christians watch it. But I don’t think we should only be concerned about what our kids watch. We need to constantly ask ourselves about the shows we watch, What does this breed in me that I don’t want bred?
