Missional Monday - R.A Dickey and Tom Waits

It is not all that often that CBC's Q, arguably the most important Arts and Culture show in the country, features an Evangelical Christian.  I don't think that the show has a particular bias against people of the faith, but it just does not seem to happen all that often.  I was very intrigued then, to hear that R.A Dickey, pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, would be a featured guest.

Below is a link to that interview.  I think that you will find, as I did, that it is a touching and sensitive example of someone bearing witness to Jesus when given the opportunity.  Listen especially at about 16:20 when he is specifically asked to share about Christ...beautiful. It may seem a bit understated, and it would be easy to let the moment go by, but put in context, this does not often happen on the CBC very often.  It is quite a powerful moment.
