Latest Twitter: Some people write songs. Some people write stories. Bob Schneider is one of my favorite storytellers.

#46. Super, happy shiny Christian radio.

Feb 16th by Jon

Boy of boy, I get cavities when I listen to Christian radio in the morning it’s so sweet and sugary. Not that I’m asking for negativity, but for some reason, we want our morning radio to be like a big hug from a teddy bear. Who is riding a pink unicorn with his friend the fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar, while licking one of those giant frisbie-sized lollipops. I think that Christian radio is the audio equivalent of that poster that has the cat hanging on a rope with the line, “Hang in there.” And it doesn’t have to be. I think that Christianity is a lot more interesting than we make it out to be. I think it’s real and honest and beautiful and ugly. But when in one of our most popular mediums we sugarcoat it, we give the world a really weird reflection of what it means to be Christian. And that’s just not cool.

To make matters worse, my church picks some of those over-played Christian radio songs to sing at church. Blah.

try RadioU out of columbus, Niki and Obadiah aren't sugarcoating anything (except their cereal in the morning) they are sarcastic and witty and not your typical christian fluff crap.
