What Non-Christians Think of Christians — Rainer on Leadership #020

One of the most polarizing posts recently on the blog was one on what non-Christians think about Christians. So in this week’s podcast episode, Jonathan and I expound on that topic and the discussion that surrounded the post. The four points conveyed to me through blog comments from non-Christians were:
Demonstrate Respect and the Interest of Others
Don’t Condescend and Discriminate
Really Care about the Non-Christian and Show It
Demonstrate Compassion and Respect
I had already received much of this same feedback when Nellie Jo and I were researching and conducting interviews for our book The Unexpected Journey. Over the years, it seems that opinions of Christians haven’t changed much from before.
Finally, since this weekend is the opening weekend of college football, we just had to address that as well. Roll Tide.
