Love Island’s back and here’s why I think it’s important that some Christians watch it

Writer Lauren Windle encourages Christians not to completely reject the idea of watching Love Island as it can hold more opportunities for sharing the gospel than you’d think.

My wise owl vicar was very set that we should not be watching Love Island. His reasoning was beyond valid – it was sensible and biblical. He wanted us to fill our eyes and minds and hearts with what was good and Godly. He didn’t want us all getting body dysmorphia as the scantily clad buff contestants pranced about in their swimwear. He didn’t want us soaking in the idea that relationships and intimacy were to be rushed to win popularity and a prize. Also, I’m sure he just thought it was all tripe and there were far better uses for our time – but I’m putting words into his mouth there.
