Steven is an American actor, known for his amazing on camera talent. He is the youngest of four brothers who all have made television, movies, and celebrity life very interesting. Now the celebrity has turned apprentice.
Embarking on a new television venture, Steven Baldwin has joined the cast of The Celebrity Apprentice; a Donald Trump produced television show filmed on New York’s, Manhattan Island.
Each episode pits two teams of celebrities competing to complete challenges in an attempt to win money for charity. In this competition, the best and the worst of human performance are judged by Donald Trump and each week the individual with the worst performance is dismissed from the show.
The tension runs high and egos get in the way; yet in the midsts of controversial business practices Steven Baldwin stands strong in his Christian faith, even when pressured to speak about his short comings as a human.
The episode that shows Steven’s true faith to Jesus Christ occurred when the project manager for Steven’s team, resorted to espionage and spying on the planning of the opposing team. In this controversy, Steven represents Christian ethics to the television audiences as he is vocally abused by his project manager. “I think God is watching us all and as a result of that, I will not compromise who I am.”
Like most sin, what started as a light hearted joke, Steven quickly identifies as being wrong and cheating. His outspoken stand for what is right brought much response from the project manager who accuses Steven of trying to hypocritically reclaim his public persona, being a man of ministry.
What is admirable of Steven is that though he was involved in the creation of the espionage, he repents and then continues to offer salvation to his project manager. “I certainly need you in the future for one challenge I have in mind. And that is to give your life to Jesus; do you think that day will ever come?”
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one who yelps the loudest and the response from the project manager became a torrent of accusations designed to silence Steven.
“You’re the one whose life is so sick and depraved that you have to crawl out of the abyss by finding something decent with your life.” The answer to which, Steven does not deny, for Steven knows that we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Later in Donald Trump’s board room accountability was being served and there, it became apparent that though distancing himself from poor business ethics, the earlier actions of Steven would be linked the indiscretion by onlookers who saw him associated to the project manager.
In this confrontation, all Christians would become on trial with Steven, as Donald Trump pointedly asked, “Steven, do Christians spy?” Sheepishly, Steve would have to answer, “I can only speak for myself; I am not a judge.” After this answer, the conversation turned away from Christians towards the management of the project; yet, for a moment the world watched as Steven Baldwin became a spokesman for Christ.
I admire Steven Baldwin in placing himself in this difficult situation, for the good news of Jesus Christ must be taken to the whole world, including Mr. Trump’s board room. Christians often times hold back from participation because of the ethics of others. Choosing to insulate themselves from the world, they lose on opportunities like this one which Steven identified and ran to.
Good job, Steven Baldwin. You are a Christian Worker.
