What We've Gotten Wrong About Sin - Alan Ritchson
Actor Alan Ritchson is a rareity in Hollywood, he is a Christian and a vocal Christian.
He has received criticism from all quarters including Christians who question why a Christian would act in a worldly TV series.
I think the obvious is missed by many.
Hollywood is a den of sin and debauchery.
To reach the unsaved someone, a Christian must be present and speak God's word to the unsaved.
We do this as Christians in our workplace and elsewhere.
Jonah is a good example of what happens when we ignore the command to spread the good news!

"Reacher" star Alan Ritchson is calling out Christians after he received backlash for playing a role that could be seen as "morally ambiguous."
In a video posted to YouTube last Saturday, the Christian actor addressed reported criticism he received from some Christians for playing Jack Reacher in the Amazon Prime Video series.
The series, launched in February 2022, is set around a former military officer who is arrested for a murder he didn't commit and finds himself dealing with dirty businessmen, politicians and cops.
"I love playing Reacher. I love telling this story. I love playing a character who creates a kind of moral ambiguity that we should struggle against as we consider whether or not what he's doing is good all the time or morally right," Ritchson said.
"But it's funny to me how a lot of people criticize me, supposed Christians especially, criticize me for playing Reacher. As if the only TV that should exist is seeing people silently folding their hands in the pew of a church. I mean, what kind of stories are we supposed.." from the article: ‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson responds to Christian critics of his ‘morally ambiguous’ role
