BBxtra: A Filter for Hard Topics

Ever found yourself scrolling through TikTok or YouTube only to encounter a confident voice making claims that leave you questioning your faith? You're not alone. In this enlightening Bible Breakdown Extra, Pastor Brandon tackles the growing challenge of information overload and provides a practical framework for navigating difficult topics with biblical integrity.

At the heart of this episode is a powerful seven-step filter designed to help Christians process controversial subjects thoughtfully. Beginning with the foundations of logical thinking, Pastor Brandon walks through establishing biblical authority, studying Scripture properly, considering opposing viewpoints, identifying personal biases, determining which "hills" are worth dying on, and developing a grace-filled strategy for engaging with others.

The framework offers much-needed clarity in distinguishing between core doctrines (hills to die on), important but secondary issues (hills to debate over), and matters of personal preference (hills not to care about). With refreshing honesty, Pastor Brandon shares examples from his own journey, including a profound crisis of faith where he had to follow truth wherever it led, even when it challenged his existing beliefs.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is its practical wisdom. Rather than simply telling listeners what to believe about hot-button issues, Pastor Brandon equips them with tools to think critically and biblically for themselves. The discussion draws inspiration from Rosaria Butterfield's powerful testimony of coming to faith through Christians who demonstrated "radical, ordinary hospitality" while maintaining biblical convictions.

Whether you're struggling with questions about theology, ethics, cultural issues, or scientific claims that seem to challenge Scripture, this episode provides a roadmap for approaching difficult topics with both intellectual integrity and spiritual faithfulness. Take ownership of your faith journey by learning how to filter through the noise and discover biblical truth for yourself.
