Today you'll hear my full conversation with the inimitable Katelyn Beaty from Season 8, specifically, December 2022. Katelyn Beaty is a Midwest native living in New York City, and editorial director for Brazos Press. But the most important thing you should know about her is that she loves words and believes they can change the world. Katelyn served as Christianity Today magazine's youngest and first female managing editor. 

She has written for The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The New York Times on light topics such as politics, gender, and theology and has commented on faith and culture for CNN, ABC, NPR, Associated Press, Religion News Service, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Katelyn enjoys exploring NYC, karaoke (post-pandemic, of course), FaceTimeing with her nephew, international travel, and starting the day with the NYT Spelling Bee. 

In this episode, you'll hear Katelyn and I discuss 

• Why we are so prone to put people on pedestals
• How we can slowly reclaim a vision of ordinary faithfulness
• The problem with singles’ events at most churches 
• The long-term impact of churches who treat their singles as an afterthought 

You can follow Katelyn on Intagram @katelyn_beaty and on Twitter @KatelynBeaty. Read more of her work at katelynbeaty.com. Celebrities for Jesus is available wherever you buy books.
