Author and Bible teacher Beth Moore apologized to the younger generation for the misrepresentation of the Christian celebrity culture of their calling.

Beth Moore recently wrote her thoughts in a long Twitter thread. There she explained how her generation wrongly convinced the younger age groups that their calling as a Christian celebrity is made for a successful career. Though their heart is genuine to serve the Lord, many in her field “made speaking and teaching and traveling, and certainly book publishing, look glamorous.”
“I want to say to you, if some of us made it look easy, forgive us,” she tweeted. “It never was. We had struggles at home, struggles abroad. We have failed as often as we could have succeeded. I have lived such an adventure with the Lord and still expect adventure ahead. But it will always be a struggle.”

Christian Celebrity Culture
The 65-year-old Christian author explained that it has always been a battle, it is never easy, but you have to keep on going.
“It will always be a battle with the unseen as well as seen. And it will always be a battle with our own flesh and our own egos. There will always be criticism. There will always be offerings we make that will be rejected. Hang in there, you servants of the Lord.”
She then referenced Philippians 1: 27-30 to emphasize that God allows “difficulties and disappointments” as “a gift” for deliverance.
“It’s just the truth,” Beth wrote. “The biblical truth. What God wants for Jesus’ followers is for us to be filled with his Spirit, not with ourselves.”
Our calling is not for us to be successful, but for us to be reliant on God.
“God is so kind [and] generous to appoint a good many celebrations, and even some dreams that seem to come true,” she added. “But his objective with us is not to make us successful but to make us reliant. He wants observers to see that a big God has been at work in us, not a big ego.”
