Zakk gets a belt and some TOMS!
Nov 13th by Jon
Ladies love cool belts.
I’m not going to lie to you, Zakk, our Metrosexual Worship Leader, was sweating this one. We had to raise $41,000 on our march toward $60,000 to build 2 kindergartens in Vietnam in order to add some accessories to his outfit. And he thought that he was going to be forced to attend tonight’s Mute Math concert without a belt or any shoes.
Fortunately, because ya’ll are awesome and God is big, we just hit the $41,000 mark.
Look at him in that white belt. Like newly fallen snow wrapped around his midriff it hangs there in pristine awesomeness. It’s like a pure white tiger running across a field of indigo denim. And look at those shoes-canvas, slipper like and thanks to TOMS, actually supporting a great cause.
Granted, Zakk’s hair is still flat, he doesn’t have a man bag or “murse” to carry his Apple laptop in and his V-neck is not nearly deep enough, but we’ll get there.
When we raise the next $3,000, the uber talented Wes Molebash will add some more details to Zakk. Let’s go to $44,000 and take one more step toward building two kindergartens in Vietnam.

lol @ the Mute Math concert.
because it's me… I'm the one who would be remiss if I had nothing to wear.
well played, sir. well played.
I loves me some Mute Math.
AGREED!
Great band to shout out.
Wow, that belt is, uh, something else. Exactly what kind of lady is he hoping to attract with that thing?
don't know what kind of lady Zakk is looking for, but she will be HOTT!
Will Kakk get a sequin holiday sweater and sing "Deck The Halls" at the women's Christmas tea?
I just called him "Kakk". That was so stupid of my fingers.
hahaha you cracked me up! stupid fingers
Dude needs a snug shirt with some asian floral graphics. I see those all the time on my worship and ministry leaders . LOVE the Toms. Good call on those.
Not specifically related to Zakk, but the Vietnam project just got a shout-out on the Swerve blog.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping he'd go with the barefoot-pedicure thing.
Maybe this will cheer you up – I used the picture of your metrosexual Halloween costume for tips. I totally copied your white belt for this drawing.
Aw, that makes my day! I thought his belt looked awfully familiar… However, I bought my belt at Wal-Mart. I'm sure Zakk got his at Urban Outfitters. Or H&M.
ick. ick. ick. man toes. ick.
Really loving what you're doing here, Jon
Love

Zakk is starting to look stylin'. Do people still say stylin'?
But he's still not smiling. Maybe when he gets his shirt?
I think hair product will make him smile.
Metrosexual worship leaders do not smile. This is probably because they are always concerned about using the arts in a post-modern faith context and therefore a perpetual mini-frown is more appropriate.
It's all part of the "worship leader face."
wes, love the tahoe/khaki toe stitchout toms.
is samaritan's purse getting a donation from them, for the props in zakk's wardrobe?
That belt is straight from the 70s. My older brother, Dale, had one in 7th grade. My oldest brother, Chip, (no joke, they are Chip and Dale) didn’t have one. He was all love-beads-hippie-stoner.
I must admit that this comment doesn't relate to this post. but i'm bursting with joy.
I found this blog yesterday. Suffice it to say that I have read far too many posts between that time yesterday a friend told me and now. Tonight I found myself at a youth event. I walked in and there was the orange drink in it's large sticky vat of glory. It called to me. As I got my second cup, youth leaders appear with boxes upon boxes of discount pizza. What's even better is that there were tubs of bootleg cookies on the counter.
Before, I merely accepted this as life in a youth group. Tonight I guzzled down orange drink in an attempt to stop choking on the pizza while I was laughing at the situation. Of course, no one else got why I was laughing, even when I tried to explain it to them. XD
Welcome, Kaylen! You have found a fabulous home. Bravo for catching up on so many posts so quickly. Jon keeps us in stitches in between straight through the heart honesty that takes our (collective) breath away. Glad you found us on such an amazing week!
I know this isn't clothing, but I feel like he needs a Moleskin notebook to take his sermon notes in. With a matching pen!
Man…went to speak to our local youth network Thursday night, and I so noticed the youth leader my husband helps was wearing Toms. I laughed a little…or a lot rather…
