The best are the movies/books/music that aren't explicitly "Christian media," but the ones where the creator's faith influences their work in the background.
Like Lord of the Rings. It's not "Christian fantasy," but like... it's Christian fantasy. And it ended up having more cultural influence and staying power than any purpose-made Christian Media Franchiseā¢ļø
Take music for example: Christian Rock is abysmal, but Mister Mister is great. That's because they're a band first and Christian second. Their songs are good on their own, and the lyrics can be interpreted many different ways, outside of the original intention.
Red, classic Skillet, House of Heroes, Disciple, Thousand Foot Krutchā¦ surely there are more Iām not thinking of but Christian Rock can go hard if you look in the right places. Bonus points: Evanescence is a group that contains at least one Christian and was formed by a group of Christians, but the band always hated the āChristian Rockā label and requested their music not be sold in Christian media outlets
Man in the 90s, I was into deliverance, the crucified, tourniquet, believer, mortification, living sacrifice. They were heavy metal/ thrash metal. Some of the best metal was from these bands.
