What do we do when culture rewrites Jesus into its own image?

This week, Counteract Podcast host and Counteract NYC cell leader Allison Lind breaks down the controversy surrounding Cynthia Erivo becoming the first woman to play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar—and why Christians need to recognize the show as both mockery and blasphemy.

She unpacks the show’s origins, the theological problems baked into its script, and how progressive ideology distorts the biblical Jesus. Most importantly, she shares how we can respond with both truth and love—praying for those in the arts while standing firm on the real gospel.

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" - John 14:6 (ESV)
