Timewind Entertainment is finishing my first DVD series, How to Be a Genuine Christian Without Being a Jerk. What’s it about? Glad you asked.
By the time they reach their 20’s, many actively involved young Christians are drawn away from continuing their faith life. Why is this? There are many theories out there concerning why many so young people love Jesus but don’t like the Church. Most of these reasons deal with methodologies and cultural relevance. In other words, incredibly boring, and. well, so many churches do kind of suck when it comes to connecting with the next generations.
But, what about beliefs? Why would vibrant people of faith falter in their core beliefs? One of the key reasons may be that these young followers lack a strong understanding about why they believe what they believe. Lacking such underpinnings, the young person of faith might easily fall prey to the whims of sarcasm and doubt that currently pervade much of our contemporary culture.
To make matters worse, young believers may aggressively stand by their faith while lacking the ability to explain such to both themselves and others, thus running the risk of being labeled close-minded, arrogant, and even misguided, in essence…a “jerk”. How can Christians gain confidence in the reasonability of their faith and learn to address questions both they and their seeking friends might have with a sense of graciousness and humility? This series answers these questions and many more. Asks a few questions, as well.
