Fists for Jesus Some Evangelical churches are using "Fight Club"-style Ultimate Fighting leagues to covert more men. Would Christ approve? U.S. News & Opinion . Friday, February 5, 2010
Christian fight clubs: Is this what Jesus would do? A small but growing number of evangelical churches are using cage fighting programs to convert young men, who tend to be underrepresented in congregation. Pastors say they hope to "inject" some irresistible "machismo" into their ministries by incorporating the bloody, but increasingly popular, sport of mixed martial arts. "What led me to find Christ was that Jesus was a fighter," said Brandon Beals, 37, lead pastor at Canyon Creek Church outside of Seattle. Is brawling consistent with the spirit of Christianity?
