Quotes by Katelyn Beaty  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Celebrity, in the final analysis, is a worldly form of power and evaluation of human worth. It is not a spiritually neutral tool that can be picked up and put down, even for godly projects. The moment celebrity is adopted and adapted for otherwise noble purposes - sharing the good news and inviting others into rich kingdom life - it changes the project. And it changes us.”
Katelyn Beaty, Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church

“Christian culture has too often offered women a push toward contentment that can numb us to our own desires, without offering the tools to discern whether those desires could be good or Holy-Spirit-inspired.”
Katelyn Beaty, A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World

“If mainstream culture thinks gender roles are unimportant, church culture makes them too important.”
Katelyn Beaty, A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World
