Why did I ever swear off of Christian TV?

I've been studying and writing papers for class quite a bit lately, but I've a lot of content saved up. So, get read for a blog burst in the next few days! I thought I'd share a video sent to my by one of our youth workers here at Shoreline. After you watch this, you might be able to explain to me why I haven't watched Christian TV stations for years. :-) Enjoy!

How I misjudged Joyce Meyer

I'm pretty skeptical of televangelists and politicians. When I found out that Joyce Meyer was going to be speaking at the INTEGRITY Leadership Ministries conference I was a little confused, but I also have a bigger distrust of the media. I thought I'd just listen to her for myself and I was not prepared for what she had to say.

She gave a passionate call to action in the area of social justice. She encouraged local churches to address the CAUSES of poverty, slavery, and the sex trade (human trafficking).

I was prepared for her informal style and some nuggets of wisdom from her many years in the ministry. I didn't think I'd be challenged and moved to act.

I am a fan now...not an uncritical one though. In the future, I will not be as quick to offer my opinions.
