Hollywood Christian - Kid Rock : Halfway 2 Jesus
Episode notes
There is something strange about Christian Hollywood.
We have Christian singers on the radio. Christian actors on the screen. Christian bands selling out arenas. Christian artists standing on award stages, holding trophies, thanking God.
We have Christian record labels, Christian radio stations, Christian concerts, Christian merchandise, Christian celebrities, Christian influencers, and an entire industry built around Christian entertainment.
And yet, sometimes I find myself asking a very simple question:
Where is Jesus?
Not just His name. Not just the word “God.” Because your god could anything. Not just a lyric about being blessed, having a breakthrough, or making it through another difficult day.
I mean Jesus.
His holiness.
His lordship.
His cross.
His resurrection.
His call to repentance.
His command to follow Him.
His warning about denying ourselves and taking up our cross. Where is the Christ of Scripture in Christian entertainment?
Welcome to Hollywood Christian.
