It is often brought to my attention that I have, for some reason, named this blog “average christian guy”. Once this has been decided upon as a topic of conversation questions arise such as, “what exactly is an average christian guy?” and “what exactly makes you average?”
All very valid queries.
I am however going to disappoint by not answering these questions, there would be no enigma otherwise, but rather write about “guy stuff” – more specifically stuff that relates to Christian guys. The “average christian guy” hasn’t written a great deal on issues relating to the average christian guy.
I’ve had a number of conversations with close friends recently about the lack of guys in church. By that I don’t mean the lack of numbers but rather the lack of initiative, involvement and inspiration these guys have to serve in church. There are issues guys need to deal with, I doubt my writing will solve the problems, but by at least talking about them we can start the process.
This will be a series of sorts, not overly planned and probably quite sporadic.
Here is where you come in.
I have a few topics on my mind I will write about but I want to know what you want to read. Simply leave a comment, it can be anonymous if you wish, and suggest a topic. Part of me wonders “what the heck am I doing?” by straying into this territory but, hey, let’s see what happens…
Guys – What issues are you dealing with? What is holding you back from living out your God given potential?
Girls – What is it about Christian guys that bugs you? What issues do you think are holding them back?
