Kathie Lee Gifford: There's No Such Thing as a "Godless Place"
While many entertainers dream about their name up in lights, Kathie Lee Gifford wants to spread the light.
As a teenager, Kathie Lee reports that God told her “to be a light in the darkness even while working in the entertainment industry,” according to an article on CBN News.
“Gifford, 69, became a household name as co-host of “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” and later NBC’s “Today.” She’s now dedicating the rest of her life to telling biblical stories through fascinating and new lenses.”
During an interview with Sadie Robertson Huff on the WHOA That’s Good podcast, Gifford told Sadie that the best piece of advice she’d ever been given was when her father told her to find something she was good at and then find a way to get paid for it.
She believes “too many people settle for less than their life’s purpose.” Kathie Lee wanted to make music, dance, perform and create movies.
While she knows many people will consider those dreams not very “spiritual,” she believes it’s deeply spiritual.
Referring to Psalm 139, she said she feels most alive when she is entertaining and creating so she knows that’s what God formed her to do. After all, she’s made in the image of the Creator God. She believes He created us to be “co-creators with Him.”
While many people believe God has deserted Hollywood, the message she’s received from God is not to artificially separate the sacred from the secular. The whole world is God’s world. He is everywhere.
“She reminded the podcast’s listeners that there is no such thing as a ‘godless place.'”
“‘There might be people that don’t know yet God and don’t know that He loves him. But there is no godless place on this planet,’ Gifford noted. ‘There’s no godless place in this cosmos and all of creation. God, the Creator, is everywhere.'”
Gifford has been outspoken about her faith and recently was defending marriage on an interview with Fox News. She talked about the “attack on marriage” she sees happening in the world.
The legendary television host and singer has dedicated the rest of her life to sharing the Good News.
“‘I knew every time I walked on a movie set, on a television set, or a recording studio or a stage, or a Baptist church, or Israel or whatever — it was God’s world. And I got the privilege of being in it and walking in it with Yeshua, Jesus,’ the entertainer said.”
“And He would be with me whether I was talking to Jay Leno or I was talking to Billy Graham. I had to be authentically a Child of God Kathie Lee wherever I went. And when I started separating those two is the only time I ever got in trouble. … He created all the world.”
