My Conversation with John Wayne and an Athiest

Me, John Wayne and an Alex the Athiest

One of the outreaches we do hear with our Mission Adventures teams is one we call "Speaking With the Stars".  We have the students take a bunch of life size cardboard cut outs of famous movie stars, rock stars, etc... and they simply interview people on the streets about the particular "stars" life.  Great ice breaker discussion starter type of outreach.  Today, I had John Wayne with me and I ended up speaking about 45 minutes to a guy named Alex who is an atheist.  We had an amazing discussion, and seeds were definitely planted in his heart and mind.  The cool thing is that he works in the mall where we normally do the Gospel Guy, so i for sure will get the chance to talk to him again.  Pray for him please.  FYI...the conversation started when Alex said among a few profanities how much he liked john Wayne because he always put the boots to the bad guys.  I asked him what he meant by bad guys.  Thus started our discussion of how in the world he could say anyone is bad when his belief system allows no room for a moral absolute law giver to tell us what is bad and what is not.
