RESISTING Celebrity Culture with Katelyn Beaty (ep. 24)

On this episode of the podcast, Ruth Clark and I chat with Katelyn Beaty about her new book, Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits are Hurting the Church. Among the topics we discuss: 

• Why celebrity culture is a uniquely modern phenomenon.
• What it means to say that celebrity is a "feature, not a bug" of the evangelical movement, and the spiritual implications
• What it might mean to resist the values of celebrity culture in the church and in the Christian publishing industry
• Why obscurity and ordinary faithfulness are so important for followers of Christ
