So I was talking to Jacob Wilson, pastor at Hindman GMC, down in the mountains. He mentioned that a guy recently came to faith in Christ at his church. As Jacob was talking to him, he realized he’d found Bigfoot.
What I mean is, as Jacobes was talking to him, he found the fellow had not just no prior church experience, but no knowledge of anything Christian.
For so long pastors and church/culture analysts have been trying to tell us that there are people in America with no knowledge of what Christians are, think, do. But usually, we do not meet many! And that’s our fault… we need to get out more.
Jacobes and I were brain-storming next steps. For sure, meet together and go thru the Navigators book, Growing In Christ.
But I also told Jacob, make sure you encourage him to tell all his family and friends what happened— that he believes in Jesus, and why. And make sure he asks them if they want to believe in Jesus, too. He has to start doing this before he thinks he can just go to church.
Cuz, people, if you find Bigfoot, you got to set him free.
