"But Nation" - a subgroup within American Evangelicalism that prides itself in approaching biblical open-air preachers to tell them that what they are doing is wrong and that they are pushing people away from Jesus. Citizens of "But Nation" typically begin their verbal engagement with open-air preachers, with these words: "I appreciate what you're trying to do, but....."

Evangelist Mike Stockwell, while preaching the law and the gospel at St. Louis Community College Meramec, was engaged by a heckler named Beth. We would later learn that Beth's emotionally charged, negative response to the Word of God was the result of her desperate attempt to justify her sexual immorality.

During Beth's angry emotional rant, Katie, a professed Christian, approaches Beth and begins to console her. I watched as Katie rubbed Beth's back and spoke softly into her ear.

I approached Katie and asked her not to interfere with Mike's efforts to reach Beth with the truth of God's Word.
