Actor Stephen Baldwin is Starting a Bible Study in New York City for Confused, Lost Millennials
While promoting the release of his latest DVD for the film “God’s Club,” Baldwin revealed that he is connecting with a church in New York City to start a Bible study that will help young people who are lost, depressed or confused.
Baldwin told The Christian Post “what young people are seeking more than ever is to be challenged with an authentic encounter and experience with truth.”
He says after visiting many churches that focus on youth in the city, he felt there was still something missing saying, “I believe they are getting a nicey-nice, culturally-friendly gospel that’s being preached to them and that is not the complete truth, the truth that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the truth of repentance and forgiveness,” “I just believe that and it is my hope in partnership with a very cool young church here in New York City.”
Baldwin insisted that the gospel is not just an experience, and that God’s word is not to simply make lives better and just give hope. He likened that ideology to self-will and self-happiness and claimed that the word of God is more than that.
Baldwin’s film, “God’s Club, ” addresses current difficulties Christians face in America, such as prayer in school and the right to have Christian clubs on school campuses. It also explores the topic of depression.
Baldwin hopes his bible study addresses the purpose of difficult times.
