Christian Celebrities

Are you inspired by Christian celebrities? Who are your heros and heroines? How have they helped you in your Christian walk?

I don't think it's right to get inspired my celebrities just because they're celebrities, but I've sort of been inspried by smaller celebrities. Not majorly though.

mostly my heroes are persons in my daily personal life - I never paid much attention to celebrities - "Christian" or "Secular" - just never was my thing. Actually I tend to discount the opinion, support or actions of celebrities - I have found they are not what they appear on the screen or in print, or they have a "motive" a great amount of the time



rather, persons in my own life live their convictions in front of their families and communities where the reality of who they are is much more readily evident and the veracity and therefore value of their support and actions is more easily validated



people like my husband and a teacher at my elementary school who teaches challenged children sacrificially

Nope.

I admire those who set an example for us. Sometimes, learning something negative about a (personal) Christian hero reminds me that we are all human. I found that to be the case with Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Paul Tillich, three of my heros.

No.

I like what "Henaynei" said above.
My heroes are those in my life who have set personal examples of Christian discipleship and love, and those who have had the courage to grasp my sweaty little hand and lead me through the rough places in my Christian walk. The teachers, friends, and family members who have shown me JESUS one-on-one. They don't receive recognition or laurels in this life I suppose, but their rewards will be great in Heaven.

Same here. Of course this could be due to the fact that in Belgium there are no celebrities that are openly committed Christians. At least none that I know of.

Yeah, I've got more people who I know as friends who are role models, rather than celeberities.
