snoop dogg & andy stanley?

So some of you might know who Andy Stanley is. He started and is still the lead pastor of North Point Community Church in the ATL. NPCC is like our "mother" church and we are in strategic partnership with them. Not to mention Andy does most of the speaking at ridge church. So Andy is kinda like the big guy of our organization... behind Jesus of course. haha, hopefully you smell my sarcasm.

But surely ALL of you know Snoop Dogg - a top selling musical artist, actor, and a genuinely very, very funny man! His reality TV show is straight up hilarious. Like the episode where he hung out with David Beckham and Becks tried to teach Snoop Doggy Dog's kids how to play soccer... good entertainment! If by some chance you're visiting from Taiwan and have never heard of Snoop Dogg, you can check out his website here.

I've read a ton of Andy's books. He's probably had as much influence on me as anyone. He wrote a book called How Good Is Good Enough? that is very short and very simply the gospel. Probably one of the clearest explanations of the gospel for our culture I've ever read. A great book for any unbeliever!
Anyway, I was reading my pastor's blog yesterday and I saw this pic...


That's awesome! Who knows what happened after he read it, but looks like he definitely read it. Pretty cool stuff. Maybe one day we'll see some "Christian Chronic Candy" - haha. I just laughed out loud after I made that up. Love to see what would happen in the hip hop industry with a guy like Snoop getting passionate about Jesus.

So, Snoop, if you google your name and stumble across this petty blog... drop in & let us know what's crackalackin' and what you thought of the book.

Every little step helps when it comes to drawing someone closer to our Father. For all of us that believes in Jesus we should always show our support for our fellow friend and love one another the way God wants us to.
