Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology in the RAH. My guest today is Caitlin

Beatty, who is a journalist, editor, and author who's written for The New York Times, The New Yorker,

The Washington Post, Religious News Service, Religion and Politics, and the Atlantic. She co-hosts

the Saved by the City podcast, and she's the author of two books, including her latest book,

Celebrities for Jesus, How Personas, Platforms, and Pro's the author of two books, including her latest book, Celebrities for Jesus,

how personas, platforms, and prophets are hurting the church. And she currently serves as the

editorial director of Brazos Press. This conversation is all about publishing. So if you are

an author, an aspiring author, I think you'll very much benefit from this conversation.

And then at the tail end of the conversation, we do talk about her book, Celebrities for Jesus, which sounds incredibly provocative.

So please welcome to the show for the first time.

The one andah, Caitlin.

How are you doing this morning?

I'm good.

Your listeners might hear some residual seasonal allergies in my voice and nose.

If anybody out there has them, you know, it's a rough time of year,

but otherwise I'm good. Well, I, you know, as I mean, we're recording this a couple days

after the exiles conference ended. And I got a massive sore throat and cold Saturday.

And then I preached at the church on Sunday. And my voice was like I could hardly even talk.

So I spent most of the day yesterday in bed.

So I still have my.

Tissues.

Yeah, I have my tissues.
