New at the Gate

Read an interview with actor Dennis Baker at Gate Graffiti. Here's an excerpt.

The Gatekeeper: How does one stay true to his Christian values in “Hollywood?”

DB: I don’t think it is different than any other profession. Christians do not have the corner market on truth. Some parts of Hollywood are spiritual places. Just because they don’t claim Christianity does not mean they are not sharing some truth that God would affirm. God created the world and all our ideas and concepts. So therefore, all truth is God’s truth. With that mindset, we are able to have open discussions and shared lives with Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Agnostics, New Agers, and Atheists because we don’t have to feel that we have to convince them of everything.

That means we as followers of Jesus become tour guides. We take the truth that people proclaim and bring deeper meaning to it. We give a context to the truth that people are living out in their lives and interact with on a daily basis.
