Overcoming Secular Music

Proverbs 4:23 (NIV): “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." 

How to Overcome Secular Music

Secular music is everywhere—from the radio to social media. While not all secular music is inherently bad, many songs promote values that don’t align with our faith.

• The Impact: Research shows music affects our emotions and thoughts. As Christians, we should ask: Does this song glorify God?
• Questions to Consider:
  • What’s the message in the lyrics?
  • How does it influence your mood, thoughts, and behavior?
  • Is it drawing you closer to God or distracting you from Him?
• Encouragement: Replace songs that don’t build your faith with uplifting alternatives.

Practical Steps

1. Pray for Guidance: Ask God to reveal what changes He’s calling you to make.
2. Set a Goal: Replace one secular song a day with a Christian one.
3. Create a New Playlist: Fill it with worship and faith-filled songs that uplift your spirit.
4. Stay Accountable: Share your journey with a friend or small group.
