Super-Preachers: my picks

I made a new friend through this whole blogging experience. His name is Matt, he's from Kansas City (home of everything Nazarene) and he has a blog called the Church of no people. I read an interesting blog of his today called "5 Super-preachers we need" which include figures that would make fantastic preachers if they were Christian; who knows, maybe some of them are, but Matt's list included Guy Fieri, Jim Cramer, and Cesar Millian to name a few... all valid choices. So, I decided to hi-jack his idea and make my own list of eccentric characters that may make good praechers. Voila...

------

Bono - this may be an obvious one. Beyond his superstar rock empire, Bono single-handedly put Africa on the map of one of the most financially desolate and poverished countries in the world. Thus, he got people from all over the world to donate millions of dollars into medical supplies, food, educaiton, and clean drinking water for Africa and AIDS orphans. Oh yeah, he also does work with organizations like the ONE campaign, DATA, (Red), World Vision, and Amnesty International. But, beyond that, he can also get more people worshipping than most worship leaders can. When singing songs like "40" or "Streets", everybody seems to be singing high God's praises; even the folks who have no idea what they're singing about.

Macho-Man" Randy Savage - What's sad about Macho-Man is that after a few years of living a particular chracter on WWF payperviews for years, that character started making its way into his real life. While always challenging Hulk Hogan to a fight whenever he had the chance and even attempting his own hip-hop career, Randy's outfits are reminiscent to that of John the Baptist which were always getting attention. But, let's face it, when Macho Man spoke, everyone listened, he always got his girl, and was always heard saying "Oh, Yeah!" as if to be agreeing from the back pew as well as referring to everyone as "Brother" like the elders do.

Don Cherry - because Don wears big & loud suits like T.D. Jakes, he's almost a shoe-in to be a super-pracher. Because of his imfamous celebrity, strong opinion, and the way everyone tunes in to his "sermon" every Saturday night around 8:45pm, he basically is a preacher. Don may even have the upper-hand on most of these preacher nominees because his sermons are only about 6 minutes long.

Ty Pennington - Ty is probably the closest thing to Jesus since, well... Jesus. Get this: he's a carpenter, has a massive following, is ruggedly handsome and white (just like all the depictions of Jesus we see) and he's also helping the impoverished, homeless, widows, and orphans. Sound familiar? His already loud-and-obnoxious voice doesn't call for the use of a bullhorn, but he uses one anyway. How could you not listen to him rant about the coming of Christ?

Jo Frost - The SuperNanny is halfway there; she's already "super". Meanwhile, her expertise lies in manipulating people to do what is right and good. That just about fits the bill to be a "super-preacher". She'd make a perfect evangelist; she travels around and helps families with their issues and in-house affairs. Plus, she's intimdating and is not afraid to use an umbrella.
