For the longest time, people got their news from newspapers, radio and TV stations. We trusted the likes of ABC, NBC, and CBS to bring us the facts without bias. Then cable news came along, offering more outlets like CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, and others.

But somewhere along the way, and earlier than most want to admit, these news organizations were taken over. Even more were propagandized from their inception. These traditional media outlets are voice-pieces of a corrupt elite who make money off of controlling what we think.

The old legacy media has not only failed us, but they’ve betrayed our trust. Fortunately, we live in an age where media itself has expanded exponentially and alternative sources are available at our fingertips. Sure, there are plenty of left field nuts out there. But we the people can choose who we listen to and think for ourselves.

Of course, there are those within the industrial media complex who don’t seem to believe we are capable of this. Or, they realize that it is our own independent thought which is a threat to their power over us. They strive daily to shape our thinking and even our opinions.

However, gone are the days of relying on a handful of informational gatekeepers who slant the news on behalf of their elite overlords. Now we have many sources whose trustworthiness has been earned over time by providing facts in context rather than soundbites and misrepresentations. The new media is here, and folks, we are it.

Now I myself am but a small fish in this sea of podcasters and others who are part of this new media. My little ol’ show pales next to those of people like Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, Megyn Kelly, Steven Crowder, Charlie Kirk, or Ben Shapiro. But God called me to do this, so I believe it’s important.

The mainstream media, which is literally a propaganda arm of the establishment and crooked politicians, is on the down slope. New media is on the rise. Top trusted podcasters like Rogan, Bongino, and Crowder regularly beat out the top CNN and other cable news shows in ratings – by a lot!

People have a natural hunger for truth. Unfortunately, many folks are still listening to the wrong sources. Our society has become polarized and divided into one group who believes the lying legacy media and the other group who gets info from reputable new media sources. Each side thinks it’s right, and common ground is scarce or practically non-existent.

The only way to win this culture war is to make sure you have truth on your side, and then be part of the solution by proclaiming that truth to those around you. I’ve talked before about discernment of truth being a by-product of a close relationship with Jesus. Time spent in prayer can clarify things and help you see through the lies.

Too many people think they are Christian, or they say they believe in God, but they don’t have that close personal connection with Jesus that truly changes a person’s outlook. It is this relationship and regular communion with the Holy Spirit that should set us apart from those who just have some crude familiarity with vague “scriptural” truths.

John 1:17

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

In other words, it’s one thing to be able to quote a verse here and there – it’s an entirely different thing to actually understand what’s taught in those verses. Even more important than the law therein is the grace and truth personified in Jesus, Who fulfilled the law. You and I are called to train ourselves through Christ so we can be a light to others.

Psalm 25:5

Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.

Psalm 43:3

Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!

If we aren’t lead by truth, we’re liable to be lead by the lies of the enemy. It is a lazy intellect that believes whatever it hears or wants to hear. Remember, lies come easy. We must pursue the truth.

In addition, true freedom will never be experienced by anyone who is being controlled by a propaganda machine. Real liberty results when people know the truth.

John 8:32

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

It’s as simple as this: Lies will keep you in bondage, but truth always sets you free. This is why discernment is one of the greatest gifts we can attain. But you have to work toward it. Again, pursue it.

It is our voices, the voices of the new media, that will reach out to save those lost in the current web of deception. Working together with the Holy Spirit, Who alone can change hearts and minds, we can prevent our nation from becoming like that spoken of here…

Jeremiah 7:28

And you shall say to them, This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from them.

It is the spirit of wickedness that threatens to keep people in the dark. They are under its spell, blinded, and they cannot see the truth. We have to break through with the light of God, and crush the power of the enemy with righteousness and spiritual warfare.

And finally, don’t be intimidated by those who mock you for sharing truth. Their mockery comes from either a lack of understanding or a desperate attempt to to discredit the very facts that will bring about the exposure of their lies.

John 8:45

But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

Jesus said this Himself. He understood then that the mind given to believe comfortable lies will not easily be convinced of uncomfortable truths. The Bible also has this to say of such people…

Romans 1:25

They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!

Romans 2:8

For those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

This is why speaking truth is an act of love. In doing so, we are trying to bring people out of the bondage of deception. We don’t want them to be subject to wrath and fury, but rather to God’s grace and mercy.

There will always be those who don’t accept the truth we share. But never let that discourage you. The day is soon coming when all the lies will fade, and only truth will remain.

Proverbs 12:19

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Hear that, legacy media. You had your run. You sold out. You violated our trust. Your time is done. It’s over. We are the media now. Step aside. We’ll take it from here. And the truth will endure forever as we keep shining that Kingdom Light!
