Prominent reality TV star, musician and tattoo artist Kat Von D, who renounced her old ways and beliefs, has publicly declared her faith in Jesus Christ by being baptized.

Stepping out and acting in faith is always a scary idea. Naturally, everyone wants to know what’s coming next and to be ready for whatever may come next. But the Lord doesn’t often work that way. Following Him requires a fair amount of faith and reliance upon His guidance and direction. 

One way in which followers of Christ show their faith and trust in the Lord is to receive the sacrament of baptism. It’s stepping out publicly, declaring to all that you are a follower of the one true King and that whatever may come next is in His hands. 

In a video posted on Instagram in early October, Kat Von D, who appeared on the popular reality TV show Miami Ink, was baptized. The short video begins with several shots of a church and people worshiping, praying and singing in that place of worship. Kat is then spotted sitting in a pew and singing in the choir. 

But near the end of the video, Kat stands silently with her eyes closed in a baptismal pool. A middle-aged gentleman, also in the pool, addresses the congregation and Kat before baptizing the reality TV star.

“Katherine von Drachenberg, upon your profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in obedience to his divine command, I baptize you, my sister, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,” the man, who is likely the church’s pastor, says.

Kat’s public profession of her faith in Jesus Christ comes a little more than a year after she had stated on Instagram that she was done with witchcraft, the dark and the macabre. 

“Today, I went through my entire library, and threw out books that just don’t align with who I am and who I want to be,” Kat wrote.

She added, “It’s never been more clear to me that there is a spiritual battle taking place, and I want to surround myself and my family with love and light.”

Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
