Marcus Mumford on Christianity →

While most Jesus-followers won't ever be asked if we are Christians on such a big stage, I need to have my own answer ready. I can't possibly know what everyone else is thinking when the question is asked, so it's important that I know what I'm thinking. Then I can ask what my “interviewer” believes about Jesus or Christianity and create a space for conversation.

Shane Claiborne asks people who they believe God is before he answers whether or not he “believes in God.” Very often we may find that we don't believe in the God about whom the other person is asking.
