The Gospel not only hinges on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but the church's ability to authentically, sincerely, genuinely share that hope through broken and messed up people. Biblical authenticity requires courage, but not recklessness. It requires a balance of Truth and Grace. Grace and Truth about ourselves. Grace and Truth about others - but most importantly Grace and Truth about God. Our attempts to achieve authenticity are experienced and revealed as we walk this path of life.

Authentic discipleship isn't about managing outcomes; it's about walking alongside others in the messy beauty of everyday life. We achieve true growth not by charting progress, but by embracing love and vulnerability in the ebbs and flows of the faith journey. Authentic discipleship thrives in the fertile ground of the unknown. Sometimes we just have to let things unfold to see what we see.
