Kevin Harvey has been filling his days with pop culture since his dad took him to see The Empire Strikes Back when he was only four. After that he became obsessed with all things Star Wars, Back to the Future, Seinfeld, and 1980s hair bands. Kevin continued to enjoy all pop culture had to offer throughout the ’90s and into the 21st century. But when the ABC hit show Lost premiered in 2004, suddenly Kevin began seeing how many of his favorite obsessions were also drawing biblical parallels and displaying eternal aspects of his Creator and the Bible given to the world as God’s message to them.
In late 2013, Kevin was asked to author a book from Thomas Nelson Publishers on this exact topic, and All You Want to Know about the Bible in Pop Culture (released March 24, 2015) was born.
Kevin’s first book, Jonah, John, and the Second Greatest (but Most Avoided) Commandment, is still available also, he believes, on Amazon, but definitely by way of his attic, where he stores hundreds of unsold copies that he never figured out how to sell.
You can follow Kevin on Twitter at @GodFamilyNoles, but be forewarned that during football season, he rants often about his first love, the Florida State Seminoles.
The Bible in Pop Culture 
I just wanted to let you know I discovered your pop culture book after starting my own blog about the very same thing. God has shown me some profound truths about Himself and my faith through my favorite television shows and movies. Some of my friends don’t understand how something “not Christian” can be used for His glory. I really appreciated your book and wanted to encourage you to keep at it. Keep finding God in unusual places because that’s how He reaches you and you reach people. God bless.

Thank you so much for contacting me, Courtney. You don’t know how much that means. Obviously I couldn’t agree more about using all things, even movies and television, for God’s glory. Keep up the great mission work. We’re needed in pop culture just as much as we are in Africa and other countries we send missionaries. Contact me anytime about things you’re noticing in media.

I just discovered your blog and I’m hooked! I really admire how you are able to find the good in “secular” things. I feel like so many Christians are afraid to do that because they see pop culture as being too worldly and something that they should mainly try to avoid, much less appreciate. I write for a blog with a group of friends about some of these same topics. It’s encouraging to see that other people are thinking the same way and finding beauty within pop culture!
