Best Indie Rock

Ben Arment is fantastic. He put together an awesome prize package for a Stuff Christians Like reader (it included 6 books and a wearable blanket) in celebration of what is undoubtedly going to be a great conference. (It’s called Story , you should go. Donald Miller is.) After sorting through the most ridiculously awesome comments about what should be added to the Metrosexual Worship Leader Scorecard (You can read them all here ) I picked a winner. I don’t know who “The Missional Position” is but he’s hilarious.
