Interviewed by John Cloutman

Jason Berggren, former frontman and lyricist for the band Strongarm, signed with Tooth & Nail Records. Strongarm is widely considered to be one of the most influential Christian hardcore bands and still enjoys a devoted following. After leaving the band, he helped to start the Calvary Fellowship church in Miami, FL, fulfilling the role of associate pastor overseeing several areas of service. In 2005, he decided to explore a different ministry calling, returning to his childhood ambition of being a writer. His new book, 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith, conveys his conviction that “positive momentum begins with negative tension.” Berggren felt compelled to write the book after realizing that all of his spiritual difficulties and challenges originated from the same ten issues. As he addresses these issues with absolute honesty, Berggren connects with both the church insiders and the outsiders who may be wondering what they can really expect from faith in Christ.
