Descripción

People don’t trust the Church like they used to. Instead of trying to make the Church look better, we are encouraging people to actually be better. More honest. More accountable. More like Jesus in how we live, not just what we say. We are going to lean into the tension instead of avoiding it. Topics we will be stepping into include: * Church hurt and disappointment * Hypocrisy and the gap between what we say and how we live * Shallow faith versus real discipleship * Personal responsibility in representing Jesus well * What authentic, everyday faith actually looks like The tone we are aiming for: Honest, not defensive Convicting, but not condemning Hopeful, not heavy We are not here to criticize the Church as an institution. We are calling ourselves and our people higher. This starts with us.
