If I was asked to give a straight answer to this topic of this week Afri-Inleo initiative, I think I would have given a straight answer to this question without going about because this week's topic has a straight answer. But for the sake of this initiative I would want to talk a bit about this topic which is titled Does listen to Secular music have effects on your spirituality? We know music is very diverse, and it can be done in several ways, so does it have different meaning it gives.
Judging from my own experience about music, I know that there are different secular musics, and which has a lot of meaning, but does that really affect our spiritual life? But come to think of it as a human and an entity, does secular music really affect our spiritual life. Listening to secular music does not really define who we are, just the way listen to gospel music doesn't justify who we are.
I was once stocked in the perspective that listening to songs justify who we are but then when I began to grow up, and I understood something's to some point, I got to realize we are different people entirely, and we stand to what we want or what we do not want. Listening to secular music is by choice, and I do not think this can justify our spiritual life. I have seen a worldly person, giving prophecy to people, even despite the fact that the person she was delivering the message to is a spiritual person.
This world is very different in a way that things happen to those that do not merit it even when we know that this person like secular music, yet when they get a vision, and they told us, we will still believe what they are saying because they are right. I will never discriminate anyone based on the fact that the person listens to secular music because one person made every one of us here to hear, which is God, and he owns the right to judge everyone, regardless of your status or what you do.
Back to when, I still love to listen to music very well. To me back then, I was not seeing anything back in it and that is because I really love to listen to music at large, and I just want to fit into that category that when people talk about one song or sing it, I will be able to flow along, and then I listened to a lot of songs be it a secular music or a gospel music. I just want to fit into that category of those that knows about songs very well.
Now imagine me then, for the fact that I love music, I won't say that secular music I listen to will judge my character or the kind of person I am. Some might even listen to secular music and still have a good character, while some will listen to the other type of music and have a bad character. Then, what are we saying? On the final note, I would say, for me, secular music does not have an effect on my spiritual life because it does not define who I am and who I am called to be.

The theme is relative to individual, but I think music and religion has alot to deal with the mind. Hence, secular music can impact on the mind and hence, the spirituality of one's religious faith either positively or otherwise. I expatiated more in my post.

Indeed. Music doesn’t affect our person (directly) but it does have influence over our reasoning. I’ve accepted my fate lol
