[...] I am a big fan of Jon Acuff. In fact, I regularly reference his book, “Stuff Christians Like,” mainly when referring to the metro-sexual worship leader scale. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then follow this link and read for yourself. It’s good for a laugh!

I don’t normally post on Sundays but I wanted to finish the list and start writing new ideas on Monday.

I am happy to say that I am a worship leader and I scored 1 on this. That makes me feel very normal/manly.

wow, I feel so old. I scored a -1. The Wranglers and the fact that my wife plays percussion (when she's not rocking the guitar) killed me. I refuse to be "postmodern" or "emergent"…I love to rock the old hymns every once in a while.

This is the first post I've read, and of course, I instantly subscribed. Two questions came to mind though:

1. What about the mandatory Aeropostale jewelry?

2. Is there a similar rating system for church planters?

Thanks for the smile!

After reading some of the responses I think the next blog should be "very defensive Christians who don't have a sense of humour- how to spot one". I know I have grown up around a lot of them. Like someone else said, if we can't laugh at ourselves and say what is obvious- then how can we ever really be real. I don't mind being real, even if it offends some Christians. Most of the "Christian culture" doesn't really have anything to do with Christ anyways, and leaves me feeling slightly nautious. So I very much appreciate a little satire to keep me sane. Rock on

Come on, it’s just enjoying some of the dichotomy in human nature, recognizing that even as we try to be different, that’s one of the things that makes us the same. It’s the heart that matters,whether or not we’re cool and know it, or we’re uncool and don’t know it. or we’re cool and can laugh at it at the same time. Everything in this world will be silly and irrelevant soon, anyway, that’s why it’s OK to enjoy it or laugh at it.

This post is beautiful. (I’m only in a band, but come on…I can relate)(I don’t care what anyone says I’m not going to have a man purse) I really enjoyed this and it’s really funny.

Amy-
that is awesome that your worship leader works hard for worship. that is an undeniably necessary trait in any worship leader. i definitely should have clarified, though. by ‘outsiders’ i simply meant those whose worship pastor was not this way… those who have worship pastors like you- who dont fit the stereotype or who dont fit this list of characteristics…
it sounds like you have an awesome worship pastor-playing john mark mcmillan? thats awesome. he sounds like a great man for dealing with the persecution he has dealt with and for working hard for his family. the thing is, you said it yourself– he doesn’t fit into these characteristics… so by my very own created definition, you are an ‘outsider’… if you had a worship leader like this, you would know it… and you would laugh… because its all true… (doesn’t make it a bad thing either way…)
