Discipleship as Reality TV?
As if throwing him on stage to preach to 10,000 people and then parading him in front of the media spotlight weren't enough pressure for former Korn guitarist Brian Welch's emerging faith, now he wants to "make TV history" by doing a so-called reality TV show to document his "life change." Four months ago, Welch was "depressed, addicted, even suicidal." His "life now is about helping kids." So he wants the world to watch him "writing checks for a quarter, a half-a-million dollars at a time on big business deals," like skate parks. "People will tune in to see what kinds of things I'll be buying for them with our money we make from my solo career. I don't like money unless it helps people." This is bad news. Consider, for example, the eroding testimonies of Jessica Simpson and her former youth evangelist father Joe, documented for the world to see on reality TV.
