Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast!

In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity.

Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty and author of "Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church" explores how fame has reshaped the American church, and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement.

She identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years and shows us how evangelical culture is uniquely attracted to celebrity gurus over and against institutions. She offers a renewed vision of ordinary faithfulness, helping us all keep fame in its proper place.
