Why I Left Hollywood for Christianity with Comedian Rob Schneider

﻿

Hollywood is built on the promise of fame, money, and influence. But if that’s the “dream,” why does the glitz and glamour leave so many icons feeling hopeless and empty inside?

You’ve seen Rob Schneider on SNL and in box-office hits like 50 First Dates, but you’ve never seen him like this. From his journey to faith, to his front-row seat to the “cancel culture” wars, Rob is pulling back the curtain on what it’s like to be a Christian in an industry that’s increasingly hostile to the Gospel. You’re going to laugh (it’s Rob Schneider, after all!), but you’ll also be challenged to think deeply about the cultural moment we’re living in right now. Together, Frank and Rob answer questions like:

How did Rob get started in comedy and who was his biggest inspiration?

How did he become a Christian?

Is using foul language forgivable?

What are some of the psychological challenges of being a comedian?

How does comedy help people understand truth better than a straightforward lecture?

What happens in Hollywood when you become a Christian and come out as a conservative?

Why does fame and fortune often fail to deliver actual fulfillment?

How have brave voices like Charlie Kirk, Peter Boghossian, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali inspired Rob to speak up?

Why is Rob such a history buff and what are his thoughts on the current war in Iran?

What does progressivism REALLY mean?

What surprising project is Rob working on right now?

What unexpected event happened at the 50th anniversary of SNL?

In addition to his comedy tour, Rob is the author of ‘You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind America‘. Stay tuned for a special LIVE event with Frank and Rob coming up next month near Charlotte, NC on MON. 4/27 at 7:30 PM ET!
