Clothe this metrosexual worship leader.
Nov 11th by Jon
Are you ready to accessorize this worship leader for a good cause?
It wouldn’t be Stuff Christians Like if we approached this whole “build 2 kindergartens in Vietnam” the same way as everyone else.
So enter Wes Molebash, a wildly hilarious illustrator.
Enter the metrosexual worship leader post on Stuff Christians Like.
Enter a man alone in the world.
He stands there waiting, hoping against hope, tentatively posed with innocent eyes and a stage 3 V-neck t-shirt.
Won’t you help him get bedazzled?
Won’t you help him earn some product in that flat, otherwise uneventful hair?
Won’t you reach out and accoutrement someone?
This metrosexual worship leader will get an article of awesomeness for each $3,000 we raise toward our goal to build a second kindergarten in Vietnam. First up? Elaborate jeans. After that? It’s a surprise. (I’m pretty sure CS Lewis did this exact same idea, but what can I say, I’m a copycat.)
Give $5 today. We’ve only got $25,000 left which means there are at least 8 items we can add to this illustration.

What a cool idea!
Thanks Jacqui –
I think Wes did a great job!
Jon
Go Wes. Also, I'm glad the reverse strip poker idea happened after teh first $30k, I'd hate to see our poor metro worship leader unable to afford his boxers or deep v neck undershirt.
Nick, no doubt. Wes and I felt that the nude approach would not have gone over well.
yeah… that's a whole different site. 25,000 left! Woohoo!
Jon, you need an avatar on your comments!
No doubt. Is that easy to do? Remember, I'm web dumb.
Jon, I'll be home visiting soon and we can sew that right up… or Dad can do it for you!
{that reminds me, I should tell you my new joke about the happy face emoticon.}
It might actaully get you some more traffic though
BTW, most metro worship leaders probably wear designer boxer briefs. The kind with the designer's name on the band. Just saying. Not that I know personally or anything …
I was going to put some designs on the boxers, but ultimately decided not to. I was really worried about the "underwear image" coming off as too sexual, and I wanted to play it safe.
Good point Nick.
Our metrosexual worship leader needs a metrosexual-worship-leader name!
I'd go with "Maynard'. You just don't hear that name enough.
That makes me think of the band tool. The lead singer is named maynard. seems a little dark.
Needs to sound hip. Treyvon maybe?
That is almost to hip for his own good. That brings a lot to live up to. but it is a good start
Yes … if we were at a COGIC church.
It's got to be Chris. Would there even BE any MWLs without Chris Tomlin forging the way?
I agree with the name thing … something edgy, yet biblical. But one of those slightly weird yet way cool ones.
Ohhh….. HOw about "Concordance" or "Maps"? Or, if he's really edgy "Foute Knote".
Jude. Barnabus. Nicodemus.
Barnabus. Amen.
He should have three names. Barnabus Jude Fouteknote.
I am going with Jude
i second jude
HAHAHAHAHAHA
You cease to amaze me. Pure genius!
He does cease? or doesn't? haha.
Imagie my horror to wake to find a scantly clad man on SCL. Color me so offended. I'm calling XXXChurch for an intervention.
Shame, shame I know your name.
Ha!!!
Stacy, I have always loved your comments, and last night my Mom was even talking about you! We think you're groovy.
Wendy & Your Mom, I'm doing what I can to spread the awesome. Love to make people laugh so I can laugh along with them. Thanks for you kind words.
Dude! PERFECT!
Wish I could think of something really cool to call our guy, but I gave up my cool card when I had kids.
)
Oh, and does he get to smile, once we get him dressed?
I would say he's mood will change as his metro-confidence slowly kicks in.
I just want his hands to look less "scared"
I'd look scared to if I was standing out there in my undies for all of SCL to see…
Is this the guy with the Jeep all grown up?
And does his hair get all gelled up?
I suspect his name is Zacchaeus, but he goes by Zac cause he doesn't want anyone calling him a 'wee little man.' He's too cool for that.
Wow. That's a great name. Zacchaeus Barnabus Fouteknote.
Zakkhaeus Barnabus Fouteknote – Who has 2 ks in their name? That's edgy right there.
Wondering if I could reply to everyone today? Think I'm getting close…
Wow. Two Ks is killer. Brilliant.
His friends call him " Ze Cupcake" Fouteknote after an unfortunate incident in youth group that he hasn't been able to shake yet.
Haha, I love that "Zac" (Zakk is even better!) is catching on.
I think I'm calling it. Zakkhaeus Barnabus Fouteknote! Zakk to tha ladies!
This is pretty awesome. A bunch of comic artists have done similar things.
I am to broke to donate though.
Joel – I get the too broke to donate thing. Don't forget this needs lots of prayer too. That's a big contribution. Just sayin.
Joel, I read what you wrote as, "I'm broke enough to donate." Which is also true.Joel, I read what you wrote as, "I'm broke enough to donate." Which is also true.
You do what you have to do, there are more ways to love and impact the kids in Vietnam than just donating.
I like praying. I need a serious job though in between semesters though.
Could someone pray for that?
what do you do Joel, or at least what is your degree in?
My degree is in Theology and am currently pursuing a Master's in Philosophy.
i do quite a bit of things. I hope to get a sales job over Christmas break since I enjoy selling. I've also done subbing, tutoring, bartending, tech-work, and have even considered teaching some guitar.
I'll pray for you.
I mean, I really will pray for you. Put your shoulder against your monitor and I'll put my hand on my screen.
He looks like a 'Jonah'. And he also needs some Horned Rim Glasses. Whats a cool metro-sexual-worship leader without some HRG's. Aka- "Rob Bell Glasses" but that would be RBG's…. not too cool.
I am loving this! I can't wait to see what Zakk looks like when he's fully metro-fied. He should have an acoustic guitar with band stickers all over it. That should really be on the list, because I've seen quite a few metro worship leader types with either stickers on their guitars (which would horrify my musical dad) or their guitar was some crazy color, like blue or red or something.
Very funny. I may have been as offended as SFL if you had started BEFORE raising the money for his t-shirt and boxer, though…
I don't know….I suspect the $ would be raised faster to get the poor fellow dressed in a hurry! haha
great way to have some fun today, jon & wes.
threw a little curveball @ us on serious wednesday.
stacy, you're slacking off. start hitting the reply button, sister. laundry can do itself.
maybe i'll even through out a challenge, of giving $1 for every time stacy comments today?!
you up for it?
HA! You know I'll do it. Don't tempt fate.
*throw * – sorry. spell check hijacked me
wow, just when I thought the metrosexual worship leader died, you bring him back from the dead, and not only that he is helping support a cause which in turn fits into the metrosexual worship leader point scheme by having a non for profit sponsered T shirt, a v necker of course.
Yes, please, Wes…one of Zakk's items needs to be a "I built a school in Vietnam" graphic v-neck t-shirt.
It would seem to me he only needs a pair of designer jeans. He's already dressed otherwise. Barefoot, bed-head and a V-neck! What more is there?
I think we've settled on a name: Zakkhaeus Barnabus Fouteknote. "Zakk" for short. Unless Jon interjects, we can now safely refer to the undressed metro youth leader by his Christian name.
*cheers*
We're less than $1,000 from Zakk getting a pair of embellished jeans!
Usually they wear woman's jeans.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution picked up the story http://www.ajc.com/news/blogger-raises-30k-in-193...
Good article – thanks for sharing!
Zakk has a very cool 3-year old named Caleb Jonas who also has product in his hair and already plays drums.
And a 1-year-old girl named Maroon Five. I think that's worth, like, +6 points, because she's named after a color, a number, AND a rock band. And of course both Caleb and Maroon dress cooler than us. (Shouldn't it be Kaleb? To match Zakk?)
Kaleb has a faux hawk. Maroon Five wears baby Uggs.
Kaleb also wears girls designer jeans, because he thinks they fit better.
So if the money doesn't come in fast enough, is Zakk going to start getting negative points? Like maybe a flannel shirt and suspenders? Or a wife who plays tambourine?
Funny stuff Becky, hope that doesn't happen.
By any chance was his first band called Zakk Attakk?
Quite likely. But contrary to popular belief he did NOT date Kelly Kapowski.
I was raised on Dr. Dobson, and have just sent him a letter requesting his assistance to help me stop loosing faith in the Christian Church. My Mom respects Dr. Dobson as much or more than any other Christian leader, and she is interested to see his response. I only started learning the truth about the 9/11 attacks last fall. It took me an entire year to convince my own parents to listen to me, and begin reviewing the evidence for themselves. Now that they have thoroughly and objectively taken a fresh look into all the available evidence, they too are now aware of how badly we have been deceived. They now fully support my mission to find out what really happened to 2,993 of our fellow countrymen that fateful September morning. My mom is very interested to see if/how Dr. Dobson will respond. Please read my open letter to Dr. Dobson and share your thoughts at………

Does Christ's Church really stand for TRUTH & JUSTICE? That is the question!

Looks like he is completely shorn of any body hair, so he has already passed step 1.
Personally, I find a lack of body hair an abomination before the Lord. God gave us the ability to grow mustaches for a reason!
Good luck with the fundraiser.
Okay, so lady worship leaders are totally getting the short end of the stick here. I think that when we're raising money for the THIRD kindergarten, Wes needs to give us Zakk's wife, Jett. She's all Contempohip meets The Cure – basically, Brooke Fraser + Avril Lavigne. She and Zakk lead worship alternating Sundays at iTruthLifePointxAwesome Community Church, or whatever the name has grown to these days.
I'm going to be really disappointed if he's not sporting a man bag
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
I hope you can add earplugs for jewelry. I find alot of worship leaders have them.
Are you talking about the in-ear monitors musicians use on stage?
Zakk….he's a Lego maniac (am I the only one who remembers that slogan?)
Amen sister. Haha! Those were the days….I don't know whatever happened to him anyways!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKeWddwApog this is a video our youth group made please watch it
I think she's talking about plug earrings. You know, the ginormous ones that stretch your ears a lot.
Won’t you reach out and accoutrement someone?
Huh?
Man, I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw this just now. It's all good now, though. I'm single. I'm not used to seeing metrosexuals in their boxers and deep Vs. It was quite alarming. Really.
Love it! PERFECT
