Funniest video of the year so far.
Mar 11th by JonI am a huge fan of Tripp Crosby and Tyler Stanton. (Tyler has a new book too, check it out.) They both live in Atlanta and are at least 64% funnier than me. Sometimes we get together and beat each other’s jokes up and try to encourage each other to move to LA already and write a movie.
Recently, they did a video called “Things you can’t do when you’re not a dog.” I thought it was hilarious and hope you dig it too. You can watch it after the jump.

“What we’re really doing is turning him into a drug addict.”
That is my favorite sentence from a recent article about an escaped monkey loose in Tampa, Florida. Apparently, every time animal control hits this monkey with tranquilizer darts he just shrugs them off and keeps running around down town. He’s become a bit of a local celebrity and has his own facebook page, which lists one of his hobbies as “Messin’ with the popo.”

Mar 9th by JonA few weeks ago, a greeting card company asked if I would ever think about doing a line of Stuff Christians Like greeting cards. The answer to that question my friend, is “yes.”
Cool Christian Litmus Test Questions
Mar 8th by JonI invented cool.
Read the introduction to the Stuff Christians Like book.
Mar 6th by JonI believe you know my opinion on the Stuff Christians Like book. (I believe you should buy it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books Christian etc.)
But if the $8 price tag and chance to win a free macbook pro are not enough to convince you, I thought you might want to check out the introduction to the book. I took a photo of it. Here you go:

Contest is finished. Thanks for the comments.
I am a big fan of Clover. In addition to being cofounded by Francis Chan’s worship leader, they’ve been a massive supporter of Stuff Christians Like.
A few weeks ago we talked about a fun way to thank folks who bought the Stuff Christians Like book. We brainstormed and then landed on …

It’s $1,200, it’s ridiculously fun and you can win it.
How?
1. Pick up a copy of the Stuff Christians Like ($8.76!)

Telling someone they shouldn’t tell you about their fast.
Mar 4th by Jon- Tagged in:
- fasting
A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with two friends. One of them was doing the Daniel fast. I’m a little fuzzy on the details but I think part of the fast involves not eating lobster. I might be wrong.
When he told me that he was doing a fast, I had a chance to be kind and compassionate and other words that mean, “Not a jerk.” I opted against that and in doing so deserved to be put on blast on Stuff Christians Like. Why do I say that?
Because I said what punk Christians the world over do when someone tells them they are on a fast:
4 things worth checking out.
Mar 4th by JonFour of my friends are releasing fresh/honest stuff this spring. I am a fan of all of them and think you will dig what they do as well.
1. Ben Arment – Church in the Making: What Makes or Breaks a New Church Before it Starts
2. Pete Wilson – Plan B: What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would?
3. Jason Boyett – O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling
4. Carlos Whittaker – Ragamuffin Soul
Each one is worthy of a read or a listen. They are all creative men of God who challenge me in what I do and how I do it.
