In this episode, we dive into how rigid "black and white" labels in church culture can actually stunt our spiritual growth and dull our discernment. We swap stories (from Metallica tattoos to Law & Order: SVU) about how labeling art as simply "good" or "bad" keeps us from wrestling with the deeper questions of faith. We laugh about the shortcuts we've all taken in the name of "safety," and unpack how these habits can lead to a white-knuckled, yo-yo kind of Christianity. By the end, we remind ourselves that discernment is a muscle, and the only way to grow it is to actually use it.
