I’ve heard celebrities and friends disavow the word Christian as an accurrate description of someone who is following Jesus.  Many people have chosen to use alternative titles to avoid being associated with a negative view of Christianity by much of the culture today.

1. Do you use the word “Christian”?  Why or why not?

2. What do you think our society associates with the word “Christian”?

3. If you don’t use the word “Christian”, but you do follow Jesus, how do you explain it to people?  What alternative word/phrase have you found to be better?

I will wait a few days for some responses and add some thoughts of my own.

Please share this post so there are more responses!
