Now, we join him as he applies his investigative skills to making a case for Christianity.

Thanks once again for joining us at Cold Case Christianity, I am J. Warner Wallace.

Usually, when I do an episode, I spend a lot of time researching, gathering my resources,

presenting graphic material, at least the websites that I might be referring to,

so you can see it in our NRB Weekly show or here on our weekly podcast.

But today, I'm not going to do any of that because I really want to talk about something from

the heart. I've got some notes on my desk related to Christian celebrity and some of the dangers

that I think I see right now in culture. And what we're trying to do to shift the approach that

we're taking as Christian case makers at Cold Case Christianity.com and in all of our social media

platforms. Look, this hit me after a Robbie Zacharias. And I did not say much following Robbie,

not because I was trying to protect, I was just trying to do process, take its course. And I also

felt like there were a lot of people who had already kind of launched on that, who jumped on

that opportunity. And I felt like in some situations, it was really about this issue of celebrity.

We sometimes choose what we talk about because we think it'll get more clicks.

And so we talk about these provocative hot topic issues. And I didn't want to do that because

it seemed to me that celebrity was at the root of Robbie Zacharias. And as at the root of what we do

as public Christians who are making the case for Christianity. Look, there's a danger in this.

And it's the danger that Robbie faced. And when I saw that whole thing go down.

And if you know anybody who knows me, you'll know I was talking about it for years prior to it
