nobody knows the Christians I see
Rick Warren who? 72% of Americans haven’t heard of this best-selling author; 63% of Christians haven’t heard of him. James Dobson who? T.D. Jakes who? Tim LaHaye who? Joel Osteen who? According to the latest Barna Update, Major Christian Leaders Are Widely Unknown, Even Among Christians. The email teaser also noted this ethnic distinction: “This week’s update shows that black Christians are more in-tune with their spiritual leaders than are white, Hispanic or Asian Christians.”
Maybe Christian people have heard of Jesus Christ or Billy Graham, at best, but the majority don’t know who’s who. The majority seem to only know celebrities and politicians. And if you’ve seen one of those Jay Leno street interviews, many people don’t even know who is the Vice President or Speaker of the House. Plain clueless. Don’t even try asking them about a blog or podcast.
