Catalyst Lab w/ Jim Henderson & Matt Casper

Henderson: Interview w an atheist.
Taking an atheist to church would be a good experience for all of us.

Casper: The music is too contrived. Too much polish and you lose the soul in music.

What was one of the most offensive things that you experienced?
Casper: The incessant demands for money. Jesus was anything but an enterprising capitalist. Wished churches were more like AA. They just barely cover expenses. There is no excessive demands for money.

How can pastors communicate better?
Casper: Promises of heaven and threats of hell do not work as they have in the past. Talking about the difference in peoples lives. Not just bringing them into belief. That is a means, not an end.
