What kind of music are you letting into your life? In a bold question-and-answer segment, Isaiah Saldivar challenges believers to take a hard look at what they’re listening to—and whether it lines up with their walk with God.
“I don’t see what justification we have listening to ungodly music,” he says. “Guard your heart. That’s not a dating verse. Your heart is your thoughts, your intentions, your will, your desires.”

With music playing such a powerful role in shaping our thoughts, he emphasizes the importance of guarding our “ear gates” and “eye gates.” Saldivar asks, “If I’m allowing pollution in… what do you want stuck in your head? Ungodly music or the Word of God?”
He further points out that many popular songs today glorify darkness: “Music about perversion, music about murder, music about drugs… it’s all sinful. It’s all dark. It’s all glorifying darkness.”

The message isn’t about being religious or extreme—it’s about being intentional. “I just think we need to be careful. What am I letting in? Is it edifying? Is it serving the Lord?” asks Saldivar.
