Ep. 120 – Mosh Pit Exorcisms & Sheepish Dad-vangelicals w/ Chris Mojan of Fireworks Part 1

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

Our guest this week is guitarist Chris Mojan of Fireworks! Chris grew up in a Macedonian Orthodox community in Detroit, but family and friends eventually brought him into contact with Evangelicalism. The awkward interactions that followed left him with lasting impressions about faith, community, sincerity, and ritual, and shaped his views of the Christian community for years to come. We had a great time talking to Chris; so much so that we decided to break this episode up into two parts! You can catch part 2 of our conversation later this week. Be sure to check out the new Fireworks album “Higher Lonely Power,” and follow them on Instagram (@fireworksmi), Twitter (@WeAreFireworks), and Facebook (facebook.com/wearefireworks)!
