I agree, many see "Christian proclaiming the gospel" as "self-righteous" no matter the situation or persons actions.
I think he seems like a pretty genuine guy, but then again I've seen a lot of public people who seemed genuine and real turn out to be frauds. Freeze has the advantage of recently being a non-big timer and most of the people who knew him then saying he's always been this kind of guy (good man), so I tend to believe him.
Either way, like I said above, people get pigeon holed by the media and ANYTHING they do outside that box is perceived as being done for their own good. Again, look at Nick Saban. Guy gives tons of money, has multiple charities, does tons of specific giving/projects around town (scholarships, houses, new student Catholic center, etc) regularly attends mass, etc etc. Anything he does like that is automatically laughed out or sarcastically acknowledged.
It's the way things work these days.

People like to damn him as a hypocrite because seeing someone using their platform to spread their faith makes them uncomfortable.
Doesn't the Bible say to evangelize and tell others of Jesus? Isn't that all that Freeze is doing? He's never once pretended to be better than anyone else. He's never once lauded his faith over someone else and used it to publicly shame another person. All he's done with his faith is good deeds and helped others in need.
I realize I may seem biased as an OM fan, but I'm also a born and raised Southern Baptist-turned-Agnostic because fake Christians drove me away from religion. I hate hypocrisy and I've spent my entire life being able to sniff out the bullshite being presented to me by "people of faith". But I don't get that from Freeze. He's not pushy with his religion. He is vocal about it, but he lets his good deeds speak for him. That's the way Christianity is supposed to work.
People who call him out as sleazy and fake should look inward and see why they automatically assume anyone strong in their faith is a liar.
