Stuff Christians Like is a blog authored by Jonathan Acuff. Started in March of 2008 in reaction to the blog
Stuff White People Like,
Acuff takes a semi-satirical look at the world of Christian culture
with the overarching question, "Does the stuff we like ever get in the
way of the God we love?" Through the use of humor, Acuff attempts to
reveal to readers how their faith is affected by the things they like.
We
recently had the opportunity to interview Acuff to learn more about
Stuff Christians Like and get a glimpse of his passion and upcoming
projects, including an SCL book!

Three years ago, I got a work study job working with inner city kids
through my college. I started it so it would look good on my resume and
help me get a good paying teaching job after I finished school. On the
first day, I rode the bus just twenty minutes, and I was met by a
classroom of smiling four-year-olds. The majority of them came over the
me and rubbed my skin and held their arms up to mine. It took me a few
seconds to realize, but they were so fascinated with me because they
had never seen a white person before.
When it comes to the impact we long to have as human beings, we must be
intelligent in how we approach our relationships. To build and develop
true relational influence, we have to be invited into someone's
relational space as opposed to what we sometimes do, which is invade
someone's relational space.
