This piece was written by a member of the Here Are The Headlines community. Amber Schreiber is a mom of three who ditched the medical field to become a behind-the-scenes content creator for influencers across just about every niche you can imagine. When she’s not creating content, you can find her consuming podcasts at an unhealthy speed, tagging along to check out the newest housing developments in town (perks of being married to a realtor), or being that mom who cheers way too loudly from the bleachers.
What if I told you the biggest threat to your daughter’s faith isn’t coming from the culture war headlines—it’s coming through her earbuds?
I need to tell you something that’s going to make me wildly unpopular: we’ve got a Taylor Swift problem in the Christian community, and we’re too busy singing along to notice.
We’ve turned Taylor Swift into an untouchable icon, and most Christian moms don’t even realize we’re doing it. We defend her. We stream her music on repeat. We buy out her concert tours and bring our daughters along for the ride. And when someone dares to suggest that maybe—just maybe—her influence isn’t aligned with our Christian values, we rush to her defense faster than we’d defend Scripture itself.
If that last sentence made you uncomfortable, good. Stick with me.
