Today we\u2019re joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows "Miami Ink" and "LA Ink" and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she\u2019s gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or \u201cChristian culture.\u201d Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did?\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(05:05) How Kat & Allie became friends\n(08:43) Kat's upbringing\n(15:39) Being sent to a behavioral institution\n(18:00) Tattooing and artistry\n(22:40) 'LA Ink' & sobriety\n(27:00) Throwing away occult books\n(32:47) How Kat came to Christ\n(37:20) Empty spiritual practices & online comments\n(43:15) Finding a church\n(46:30) Baptism video & criticism\n(53:30) Discerning content and style\n(01:07:55) Alice Cooper\n(01:10:50) Sanctification & inward change\n(01:15:16) Message to those seeking\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nNaturally\xa0It's Clean \u2014 visit\xa0https://naturallyitsclean.com/allie\xa0and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.
