Using selected stats and books from certain publishers, they’ve concluded albeit erroneously that young evangelicals (meaning those of you under 30) have switched from being Republicans like your parents but are now voting Democratic – this is being reinforced by certain activist groups replete with conferences that help reinforce this stereotype – it is in these organizations’ vested interests that they feed into this myth that Jesus is a political zealot who rode a donkey and thus must be a Democrat. Those of you in this demographic must prove both the media and those partisan progressives that you are seeking a third way – the way of Jesus. Go for it.

I agree with you for sure that it’s a pity that the CNN article misses the point of the tour, but I think Jamie put it well in the post by saying “let’s see…which story they decide to tell.” It reminds me of how Jesus said so many times “He who has ears, let him hear.” Unfortunately, people will hear the message that Shane and Chris and the others are trying to spread from their own bias, whatever that may be, unless the Spirit of God opens their “ears” to hear what He has to say through Shane, Chris, & Co. I’m just glad they are saying that the tour isn’t telling people who they should vote for, because then the press would really have a field day with us!
