This is one reason why I try to frequent those coffee shops filled with pagans. Not joking. Appreciate you... Great post Chris… like all of what I’ve read from you… very interesting.

I also love coffee shops for all the above reasons! It's funny how we forget that Jesus said that we should take on the nature of a servant! We should give up our seats and sit on the curb and not be annoying when its busy! Second, the loud evangelism thing not only is uncomfortable, it is embarrassing. We aren't called to evangelize through volume, if that were the case, the Street Corner Preacher would be effective. Instead we need to get involved in the lives of others. Involvement is the key! And for the record, involvement is not shouting over the noise but joining into the lives of others. I love the people that work and go to my favorite coffee house, I hope that we don't ruin that by being inconsiderate! Great Post Chris! Great points!

They have always been metaphorical and to bring those walls down will take more than just location change, but real missional engagement with the world.

I had a friend who was a waiter and said that he and his co-workers always tried to get Sunday afternoons off because, "Christians are the WORST tippers." Oh, that me feel good all over.

Not being a huge coffee drinker...I actually don't spend much time there working. BUT, you have aptly described the times I have been there. Just another way I get embarrassed to be a Christian.

The coffee shop Christians. You know immetially when they are there because in the parking lot you see 6 cars with your typical "christian bumper sticker": My boss is a carpenter, the Christian fish, WWJD, Christians on board, etc....I can go on for hours. And to make this situation worst is that these Christians are cheap and will only buy a cup of coffee while taking up the entire coffee shop for the entire Wednesday night. And....they do not even think to tip or start a conversation with the coffee shop employees. Sorry.....I need to cool down. Unfortunately I did not resonate with this post. ; ) Indeed!
