Christianity Today published an interview with David Bazan, a well-known musician and the former frontman for the indie rock band Pedro the Lion. Bazan is a former evangelical Christian who no longer counts himself as a believer, but he continues to speak (and sings) about God and the doubts that led him away from the Christian flock. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/29/can-you-be-an-ex-christian/ 2009-10-29T10:22:26-05:00 When you hear somebody describe themselves as an “ex-Christian” or “former Christian,” what’s your reaction? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/it-aint-over-2581 2009-10-02T10:32:03-05:00 You can't tell what God is going to do for a wonderful finish to this game. God has a way of hitting a bases loaded, grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs - if you don't give up before that harvest comes! I just hope you don't miss that grand finish because you gave up on the game too soon! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020:26-28&version=NIV 2009-09-27T19:53:01-05:00 Thomas, one of the disciples, refused to believe that Jesus had risen without physical proof.

I’d had a good youth group, a Bible club, a lot of Christians. And then, man, I had none of the above. I was like the “Lone Christian.” And I was in this one class where the teacher challenged everything I believed, and now I was questioning things that I never really questioned before. What if we’d been raised in another culture? Would I have believed something else?
