Russell Brand describes how growing up, he viewed the church as either archaic or a cringe attempt at keeping up with the times, describing it as offering nothing for him. Yet now as a mature adult, he sees things differently. Brand briefly describes the character of Christ as ideal and details that he’s reading the Bible regularly.
He does say he’s reading Rick Warren, who is a false teacher. Yet he seems to be working out his faith, as a so-called Baby Christian.
