Jon "Bearded" Blevins (Ninja's Big Bro) Talks Evangelization, Fortnite, and Innovation in Ministry: Aspiring Patron Saint of Social Media... And Losing Football Teams

The Nick Longo Show

For most people, evangelization efforts look like your standard parish mission, youth group, bible study, or even your regular Sunday Homily at Mass. That's not the case for Jon "Bearded" Blevins. Jon has gained a huge following for his evangelization ministry on Twitch - the live-stream gaming platform. Jon streams himself playing Fortnite regularly, and throughout his streams, he will pray with his viewers and share about his Catholic faith. Jon began this journey into live-streaming Fortnite for his evangelization efforts after being encouraged to try it out by his little brother who was already doing it himself. You might have heard of Jon's little brother - his name is Tyler - and he happens to be the most famous online video game streamer in the world - online he goes by the name Ninja.

Today in the podcast, I sit down with Jon and we talk about his journey in ministry and evangelization, how he learned from great leaders including his friend, Joel Stepanick, and all the things that he has been doing to innovate in Catholic ministry with his Twitch streaming, and more!

Thank you so much for listening!
