Last Supper

Drag queens staging a controversial “Last Supper” at the Olympic opening ceremonies. “Should we be talking about that on Christian radio?”

Here’s a fun thought experiment. Imagine that somehow your station could influence pop culture to such an extent that you could place Jesus at the top of everyone’s mind. You could take some part of the Bible story and make it something that everyone would be talking about, and interested in. Would that be a great opportunity for you as a Christian station?

Ok. Thought experiment over. What if something like that came to you, but was packaged in a way that was counter to everything that you believed in? Would you still look at it as an opportunity? What if people who didn’t know much about the actual Last Supper, heard about it on your station? Would that still be good? If you looked at it as an opportunity to talk about the Last Supper (of all things), and have everybody lean in to listen?

The audio below from Erica Parkerson at SPIRIT 105.3 in Seattle (with a hat tip to her Producer, Max Gross as well) shows one possible way it could be done. Here’s another possible way from Brant Hansen – Why Jesus-followers can be happy about the Olympic opening ceremonies.
