When I started having issues with the behavior of the church, I started reading into the history of the church, and the history of the Abrahamic religions. I read books written by scholars, archeologists, and anthropologists, not by theologians.

Get an A/V receiver, a computer monitor or dumb TV, and speakers. Then you can get a Roku streaming player and it cannot show you anything when you do not have its input selected on the receiver.

The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six.

First, does your monitor have an audio output? Some do, and it will output the audio from the HDMI/DisplayPort input.
