Episode 5 - Is There a Celebrity Crisis in the Church?
Pod of the Gaps - A podcast by Pod of the Gaps
Categories:
We live in a celebrity-obsessed culture, the age of the influencer, where "being famous" has become the aspiration of over 50% of teens. How can Christians respond to the shallowness that often goes along with celebrity culture? Are Christians equally guilty of uncritically putting people on pedestals? How should Christians think and act wisely in terms of the need to build 'platform'? And can we use the cult of celebrity as a bridge to the deeper truths of the gospel? Join the entirely non-famous (indeed possibly infamous) and definitely at least Z-list celebrities, Aaron Edwards, Andy Bannister, and Michael Ots as they explore all these issues and more alongside the usual heady mix of banter, theology, and comedy.
