Is Jack Reacher Actor Alan Ritchson a Christian? (on his channel InstaChurch)

Alan Ritchson’s Public Christian Claims and Media Presence

Alan Richson is the star of the hit show Reacher and has also been in movie franchises such as The Hunger Games and Fast and Furious. He also claims to be a Christian with a channel on YouTube called InstaChurch in which he attempts to take a look at scripture and how it relates to our lives today.

Sometimes he can be solid. In one video he talked about sin and why we need the substitutionary death of Christ. In another he addressed a skeptic and defended the power of prayer. However, he says he does not have a church but that InstaChurch is his church.

Concerns About Abortion, Homosexuality, and Political Messaging

He also defends abortion and homosexuality and several videos I watched were full of leftist political talking points. I watched two interviews with Richson in which he repeatedly used R-rated swearing.

Acting Roles, Sexual Content, and Moral Inconsistency

Through content guides I read that Reacher contains graphic sex scenes in which Richson.

Appears.

He's a married man who gets paid to take off his clothes and be intimate with other women. In his defense, Richson said, He thinks God enjoys adulterous sex scenes? The Bible warns of teachers who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.

Judgment, Repentance, and Avoiding Unfaithful Teaching

Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls and love gain from wrongdoing. Pray this man would be convicted of his sin and repent, or the day of judgment will not go well for him.

In the meantime, avoid Alan Richson's acting and teaching when we understand the text.
