Hollywood Christians: What It's Really Like Evangelizing Celebrities Ep. 74
What is it really like sharing the gospel with Hollywood Christians and celebrities?
Join Jonathan and David as they welcome back Dylan Novak — The Celebrity Evangelist — for Episode 74 of Deformed Theology. Dylan shares what he's learned from years of sharing the gospel one-on-one with actors, comedians, and A-list stars, from Chris Pratt and Howie Mandel to David Duchovny, Craig Robinson, Jay Farrow, and John Travolta.
In this conversation: why Dylan sees celebrities as an unreached people group, why horror actors are surprisingly open to Jesus, how Bryce Dallas Howard started a Bible study on a horror set, and what happened when Dylan got a study Bible to John Travolta at a chaotic premiere.
Grounded in James on partiality, 1 Corinthians 9:22 on becoming all things to all people, and the call to love God and neighbor without judgment — this is about taking Christ beyond the church walls.

Can Christian Hardcore Be Worship? 'Pipe Bomb' Front Man on Faith, Grief & Rage Ep. 73
Can Christian hardcore be worship? Pipe Bomb frontman Mitchell Layton joins us to talk faith, grief, and rage — and why holy anger still has a place in worship.
Mitchell shares his full Christian testimony — saved at 5, losing his dad at 11, getting convicted by his own bandmates in high school, and walking through mental health struggles while fronting a hardcore band. We dig into his songwriting process for "Under God's Heel," how he directs anger in a way that's not sinful, and how God uses heavy music to reach people for the Kingdom.
Whether you love Christian metal, Christian hardcore, or just need encouragement for faith and grief, this conversation is for you.

Pipe Bomb's story and Mitchell's shift from bass to frontman
The meaning behind "Under God's Heel"
Saved at 5, dad died at 11 — wrestling with God's goodness

Does Dinx Wear A Tinfoil Hat? Is He Made From Mixed Fabrics? Ep.72
Join Jonathan and David for Ep. 72 with Dinx the Puppet — a funny, grace-filled deep dive into Nephilim, end-times alien deception, and Torah vs. faith. Dinx shares his take on Genesis 6 hybrids, why Christians shouldn't fear UAPs, what Revelation really tells us, and why obedience is the evidence of salvation, not the mechanism.
We discuss LA Marzulli's theory, replacement theology in Romans 11, reading John with humility, plus Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dinx's infamous cotton poly blend confession.
Core takeaway from Dinx: don't confuse the evidence of salvation with the mechanism of salvation — without faith it's impossible to please God.
