The Spiritual Tramp  

Music - Covenant by Anyhony Stauffer and Holy Smoke.  I got it from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network. Check it out at 'music.podshow.com'.  Sometimes it will be Christian, sometimes not, but it will always have a positive message and will hopefully also always rock as hard as this one.

Possible topics of convo:

Coffee and why it rawks!

What are our responsibilities as a Christian artist?  Does everything we do need to be explicitly Christian?  Does a Christian radio station need to play only explicitly Christian songs?  Do Christian authors need to write only "propaganda"/"sermons"?

Pinakidion says "Based on my own experience, it looks like American Christians are trying to create their own pocket universe inside of our culture. The thing is, the pocket universe is incredibly similar to our own, but usually of B-Rate quality."  http://pinakidion.org/archives/authenticity-and-marketing

It seems to me there are two extremes to this question for a Christian writer, and they can symbolize mistakes on either side of a balance every Christian ought to strike in life. On the one hand, writers could fill pages with one sermon after another, so that every book is really propaganda. On the other hand, we could take care not to mention Jesus lest we cause offence. As with most things in life, the Jesus Way lies in the middle. – Athol Dickson, Christian writer http://whatatholwrote.blogspot.com/
