Hollywood Christians: What It's Really Like Evangelizing Celebrities Ep. 74

What is it really like sharing the gospel with Hollywood Christians and celebrities?


Join Jonathan and David as they welcome back Dylan Novak — The Celebrity Evangelist — for Episode 74 of Deformed Theology. Dylan shares what he's learned from years of sharing the gospel one-on-one with actors, comedians, and A-list stars, from Chris Pratt and Howie Mandel to David Duchovny, Craig Robinson, Jay Farrow, and John Travolta.


In this conversation: why Dylan sees celebrities as an unreached people group, why horror actors are surprisingly open to Jesus, how Bryce Dallas Howard started a Bible study on a horror set, and what happened when Dylan got a study Bible to John Travolta at a chaotic premiere.


Grounded in James on partiality, 1 Corinthians 9:22 on becoming all things to all people, and the call to love God and neighbor without judgment — this is about taking Christ beyond the church walls.
