Podcast Episode 18 with the Celebrity Evangelist

The transcript is from a podcast episode of Bibles and Bullhorns, hosted by Jonathan Morris and Jon Neifert with their guest, Dylan Novak the Celebrity Evangelist. The discussion centers around his work to reach the stars with the Gospel by personally delivering Bibles and handwritten notes. He shares personal stories of divine encounters, rejections, and radical obedience. Dylan shares how his journey began with a deep conviction to reach influential figures who might not hear about Jesus otherwise.

Key Points:

Calling to Ministry: Dylan describes a powerful moment where God placed a burden on his heart to reach celebrities. He emphasizes obedience and boldness, often stepping out in faith with no guarantee of meeting the people he targets.

Approach and Process: Dylan takes a personal, respectful approach — learning about the individual, praying over a personalized Bible, and writing a handwritten note filled with encouragement and Scripture.

Notable Encounters: Dylan shares several stories of delivering Bibles to high-profile people, including a moving story involving an NBA player and another involving someone on a film set. He talks about how the Holy Spirit often opens the door in unexpected ways.

Rejection and Faith: Despite frequent rejection or skepticism, Dylan says it’s worth it for even one soul. He stresses that the success of the mission isn’t measured by reactions, but by obedience to God.

Encouragement to Others: He encourages listeners to use their own platforms — no matter how small — to boldly share Jesus, reminding them that fame doesn’t exempt anyone from spiritual need.

Final Message: Dylan leaves listeners with a challenge: “If God is calling you to step out, do it. Obedience brings blessing, and you never know whose life will be changed.”
