HELLO! MY NAME IS MICAH AND I LOVE TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT POPULAR MUSIC.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE SONGS WE HEAR IMPACT HOW WE THINK, FEEL, AND BEHAVE
SOMETIMES IN GOOD WAYS LIKE WHEN SONGS HELP US PROCESS OUR FEELINGS OR LEARN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
AND SOMETIMES IN BAD WAYS WHEN SONGS MAKE US MORE JEALOUS OR DISTORT HOW WE SEE OTHER PEOPLE
DISCERNMENT HELPS US FIND SONGS THAT SHAPE US IN POSITIVE WAYS AND AVOID SONGS THAT MAY HARM US
I FOLLOW THESE FOUR SIMPLE DISCERNMENT RULES TO FIND THE BEST MUSIC
1. AVOID THE SONG IF I DO NOT LIKE THE MUSIC OR THE LYRICS DO NOT MATCH MY VALUES
2. FIND A RELATED SONG IF THE LYRICS DO NOT MATCH MY VALUES BUT I LIKE THE MUSIC
3. CRITIQUE THE SONG IF I THINK IT CAN TEACH ME SOMETHING ABOUT MYSELF OR OTHERS
4. CONSUME THE SONG IF THE LYRICS MATCH MY VALUES AND I LIKE THE MUSIC
I HOPE THESE RULES CAN HELP YOU FIND SONGS THAT SHAPE YOU INTO WHO YOU WANT TO BE
TRY DISCERNMENT FOR YOURSELF! PICK ANY SONG AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW
