Can A Christian Be an Evangelist If They Don't Like Coffee?
Throughout my college experience, I have been invited on numerous occasions to sit down with a friend of mine and discuss things over a cup of coffee. We talk about school, homework, God and any and all other theological subjects. But one thing that I always go through is telling the person who invites me out to coffee, "Yeah, I'll come talk, but I don't like coffee." The expression on their face is usually the epitome of the expression, "Really? Are you sure you're a christian?"
So my question is (jokingly of course, if you haven't caught on), can a person be an evangelist and not like coffee? I suppose this is mores directed to paid ministers who are invited out to talk because of the position they hold. But really, why is coffee the social norm for talking to someone in a public setting, especially amongst college students? Can we not do something else, like, I don't know….go to Sonic? Take a walk in the park? Just sit at a table and not consume a beverage?
In conclusion….I don't like coffee. Never have. Never will. So if you ever want to just talk to me, and you invite me to coffee, although I will indefinitely say yes, I will NOT consume a hot beverage brewed from nasty beans. Just saying. That's all for now.

Haha I love Star Bucks. But what you're saying is totally understandable. I don't see how people don't like coffee, but everybody is different
