This week on the Lin. Woods Gospel Entertainment Podcast, I sit down with Larry Rodgers—Christian Book Publisher, former Power Ranger, and veteran entertainer. From the streets of St. Louis to Hollywood, Larry shares his incredible backstory—how he danced alongside M.C. Hammer, opened for Janet Jackson, and mentored fellow church member and comedy icon Chris Tucker.

He pulls back the curtain on the highs and lows of life in entertainment, and how it all led him to launch ForWord Books, a faith-based publishing company, a youth magazine, a church—and a whole new movement in literacy entertainment.

It’s real. It’s inspiring. And it’s all faith-centered.
