Henderson makes friends with atheists

Jim Henderson likes hanging out with atheists. He buys them on Ebay and writes books with them (Jim and Casper Go to Church). He also likes hanging out with ordinary Christ-followers who want to learn to connect with their non-Chrisitan friends in a way that will inspire them to want to follow Jesus. As part of that effort he presides over one of the best-run and innovative annual Christian conferences, Off The Map Live.

This year’s speakers include:

Brian McLaren (interview)
Social-spiritual activist, movement planter, leader in the emerging church

Ruth Padilla Deborst (interview)
Latina activist among the poor, familiar with suffering, influential thinker

Richard Twiss (interview)
Native American leader, activist and artist

Diana Butler Bass
Historian, expert on state of Christianity in America, Futurist

Todd Hunter (interview)
Movement leader, key adviser to young leaders, pastoral theologian

Jim Henderson (interview)
Innovator, change agent and friend of the people formerly known as lost

Jim’s innovative Off the Map team weaves live music, multi-media, speakers and workshops into a conference that sometimes resembles the precision of a rocket launch. I attended Off The Map a couple of years ago with my good friend, Bill Dahl, and mark it as one of the highlights of my spiritual journey of discovery.
