Recently converted ex-Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch and vocal convert and actor Stephen Baldwin are joining forces to launch “a line of ‘cutting-edge Christian products’ in an attempt to give young people of faith some pop culture they can actually be proud of.”
“There’s just not a lot of really cool Christian material out there,” Baldwin added.
Thanks. Thanks a lot. I’ll be the first to admit Christians aren’t perfect, but when it comes to pop culture there have been a lot of steady improvements (Switchfoot, Sixpence None the Richer, The Passion of the Christ, etc.). I’m not sure if high profile converts are really what we need. (link via CT)
I think it’s great that he’s saved and that he’s vocal about his faith, and hey, he was the best part of that The Mole: Celebrity Edition show. I just cringe a little when he talks about how he’s going to bring coolness to Christianity.
That said, I’d take a hundred Baldwin’s over even half a Benny Hinn.
