Russell Brand Hosts the Westboro Baptist Church

Russell Brand is known for many things. Actor. Comedian. Talk show host. Husband (for a brief time) to singer Katy Perry. The list goes on. Recently, the entertainer invited two controversial individuals to appear on his FX show, “Brand X” — Westboro Baptist Church's Steve Drain and Tim Phelps (founder Fred Phelps' son).

What can we learn from this conversation? It is plain to see why the Westboro crowd have lost their standing as a true church? Absolute truth must be established, however, without love we are decidedly ineffective in the preaching of the gospel. How can we respond in love to the postmodernism, secular humanism, and cosmic humanism espoused by Brand, his guests, and his audience?
