Q102, Booker and Brian Jones
Posted on 18. Oct, 2007 by frank in faith
Brian was on the Booker show this morning! Chris Booker does a morning show on 102.1 every morning with Diego, Angi and Blaire. He did so well they were talking about our new sex series at church and the importance of having a healthy relationship with your kids so you can be an effective parent to address the topic.
The coolest part about the whole conversation was two things. First, Booker was totally cool about discussing faith on the air. He commented how being agnostic is the cool thing right now and how it is disappointing because the church should really have a place in dealing with the difficult topics in life. Brian was all over it! He immediately jumped in and talked about how that is exactly what CCV is trying to do. By doing a teaching series like Our Rotten Sex Life we want to show our culture that God and the church can be relevant and change lives.
The second thing that was just great was after Brian got off the air. One of the girls, I think it was Angi that said, “Ya know, of all the time I have spent on the radio that is the first time I have talked with a pastor. It was so great!” Throughout the conversation Blaire, Angi, and Diego were all positive and complimented Brian about his demeanor, and positive attitude about a tough subject.
Brian, you represented God and our church well today. Thanks for doing what you do, we love ya man!

Awesome! In a world that so often stereotypes church, pastors and faith as irrelevant and out of touch, what a refreshing breath of fresh air. It takes guts to make the decision that CCV has made – to step out of the stereotype and have the courage to meet our culture head-on! I applaud CCV and am glad I am part of it!

Why don’t I have a sexy wife, when everyone else seems to? I work in Corporate America, and I see all these beautiful women ALL DAY LONG. Married women. Single women. So many georgous women. My wife works in Corporate America, but doesn’t seem to care how she looks. What am I supposed to do? I can’t “go elsewhere” and have an affair, right? What the f*ck am is supposed to happen? Just suck it up and think that I’m not “allowed” to cover other people’s wives? GET REAL! I’m a human being. My sex life has been rotten ever since I got married. I have beautiful children. I have NO WHERE TO GO and God isn’t going to fix that.

What is the number one question tot a dyslexic agnostic?*
I had difficult not comment on several, likely too many, of your posts.
You have a very interesting project. I found things that were entertaining, amusing and thought provoking. The holy trinity of quality blogging you might say.
I’m pleased to say that I’ve included you in the current {updated} Installment of A Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Blogosphere.
Cheers!

Anonymous, married life does have its challenges. However, there are things we can do meet those challenges and not let it get the best of us. I would encourage you to visit our church during this series of teachings and see if God shows you something.

Frank, this is Anthony. I don’t think church is my answer. (This used to be ‘anonymous’) I sing in my choir. I go to church every Sunday. I think I need to see a psychologist because I think I made the mistake of marrying the wrong woman, despite our two children. I don’t respect her anymore. I did, but things from her past come up and I lose all respect for her. (She used to like to party) But then I see these younger women who look great, but married early and now they want to go out and party (because they didn’t too much when they were younger)I feel bad for their husbands, honestly. My wife has matured beyond that. She doesn’t flirt or do any of that, but she also doesn’t take care of herself. She could give a crap if she has a nice figure, and every woman I meet at work does. And on top of that, EVERYTHING seems to remind me of her past now. (We’ve only been married 5 years) We have two wonderful little girls, and I want for them what I had. A loving mother and father. A nice family. But I can’t come to grips with what my wife used to be. And I look around now at these other women, who BTW are also mothers, and they look great. Why am I getting the ‘short end of the stick’ so to speak? How can God possibly come through on this one? I almost wish I never had children, just so I could get out of it.

Anthony, I don’t believe that church is your answer either. Healthy relationships are your answer. A healthy relationship with God, with your wife, and with other people who are committed to doing life the way God wants. That is where church does come into the picture. Church is often the place where people find those relationships. You need someone to look you in the eye and ask the hard questions and to walk with you through the challenges that marriage brings, and the rest of what life brings too. I would encourage you to talk with your pastor/priest about what you are feeling and if you have time listen to the sermons in this series on http://www.moviechurch.com. I hope things get better for you and I want you to know I prayed for you today.
