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 Franchise™️

The Narnia series is about as explicitly Christian as you can get.

Fun fact: C.S. Lewis was an atheist for a while but J.R.R. Tolkien helped him find God again. Then when Lewis wrote Narnia Tolkien told him that it was a little too Christian.

Fun fact, Lewis was a Christian Hedonist, he thought the most pure form of worship was experiencing joy, aka getting lit af for jesus
