TheoHacks #6: JJ Goes to Hollywood

For our first interview, we dialogue with JJ Peterson, a friend of ours who is trying to explore what it means to be one who follows Jesus in Hollywood.

Special Note: This episode was recorded last week. JJ mentions that he was an extra on West Wing, which has since been announced that it will be cancelled after this season. This week, JJ is up to be an extra on The Office. Here’s hoping he doesn’t take that show down to.

Listen now:

    Hmmm, well I was listening, and I know you need/want comments. Although I don’t know if you want them from me. I like what John said regarding Zachias. This is something that I have been trying to figure out recently. Why do we (huge generalization) as Christians, always quote Jesus (when he was with another tax collector, Matthew) “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” Matt. 9:12, yet we don’t live it out.
    I always felt as though I was supposed to stay away from “those People” (There ya go John, I will find a way to get that in any time I can), and at the same time, be an example of Christ to them. How does that work? It doesn’t.

    Don’t have anything profound to say, just wanted you to know, this is great stuff. Gets me thinking at least. If only I could be as eloquent as John :-)

    I should buy you coffee more often so that you can manufacture more nice things to say about me.

    Well to put things in a different light for you, let me explain it like this:

    Three years ago I left my home or az to go to college. Two very important people (john and JJ… sorry zach, you still rock though) in my life left as well to move on to new things in their lives. And yet, the two people that help guide me throughout my younger years were able to continue doing so (whether they meant to or not) via this: the internet, blogs, podcasts.

    Your podcasts and blogs all help me see the world, they help me think. They help me see outside of myself. Its like church… just over the net. Thank you guys.
