'Metallica Came To Church' Author Interviewed On Dayton's 103.9 THE X (Audio)
August 18, 2010Nudge of the Dayton, Ohio radio station 103.9 The X recently conducted an interview with "The Day Metallica Came To Church" author and pastor John Van Sloten. You can now listen to the chat in two parts below.
What do the music of METALLICA and Bach, the film "Crash", and stories about Batman have in common? According to John Van Sloten, God can speak through all of them — if we're listening. Out of his own often startling and sometimes wrenching journey of discovery, Van Sloten shows how God can speak to us through anything and everything — heavy metal music, R-rated films, sports, and even the latest fashions. This book might just change the way you hear God's voice — and how you live in today's world.
John Van Sloten tells the Calgary Sun that the preaching that eventually led to his book sacrificed his Calgary flock's numbers on the altar of altering views on religion's relevance.
"They thought I was going too far, throwing out the bible completely," said Van Sloten. "In most other denominations, I'd be defrocked."
