Rachel Held Evans, she wasn't a preacher, but she did preach.

You wrote a blog post called Blessed Are The Uncool that just went viral.

You probably got it on Facebook.

That's where it really blew up.

I got it from several people.

This is from an interview she did a few years back.

The posts that really take off like that are when I've said something that a lot of people

have been feeling, but they weren't really sure how to articulate.

Rachel was evangelical.

In her writing, it was all about changing what people thought about when they heard that

word, evangelical.

And I think what that post was about was I was saying that even though I'm young and

people think I want a big cool show in church, that what I really want is just an authentic

community of people where Jesus and his friends who were uncool would fit in.

Because there's sort of this assumption that, oh, you're young, you're 30 or under, you

must want like fog machines in church.

And like if we do that, then the young people will come.

Yeah, and if we just lay out a rock band and do a light show, then the young will come.

And that's not really actually what I want.

I don't have a problem with those things.

What Rachel wanted was to reach out to a group of religious people, deeply religious people,

people who may have felt the evangelical church had left them behind.
