Brett McCracken

I went and saw Brett McCracken speak tonight. He wrote this book:

For some reason I expected him to make me angry or be really shallow or something, but he was actually a really cool guy with some good things to say. He said how he's not targeting hipster culture, he's just drawing attention to how striving to be "cool" can draw us away from growing in our faith.

here's how I summed up his talk: If you are going to carry the label of Christian - whether it be Hipster Christian, Christian Bro, Sports Dad Christian - you need to exemplify the qualities of Christ. You can be a hipster Christian, but first a Christian, then a hipster.
