Favored or Forsaken: Celebrity Christians

In the wake of news about Carl Lentz, we’re taking a broader look at celebrity Christian culture. In this episode, we deconstruct the difference between celebrity Christians and Christian celebrities, as well as discuss their rise to power, the different standards we hold them to and potential checks and balances that would solve all our problems.
