An encouraging countercurrent in our anti-Christian age is a series of apparent revivals reaching everyone from college students to celebrities. The latest notable figure to demonstrate her allegiance to Jesus Christ is Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s presidential running mate, who was baptized last month - but she's certainly not the only recent convert. This presents an interesting question that Christians in many times and places have not had to face - how to treat celebrity converts - new Christians with cultural influence. The world would advise us to take pride in the number of celebrities who convert to Christianity, and to leverage their fame and influence to maximize the reach of our cause. But what does the Bible have to say?
