It would seem that the more we venture farther down the rabbit hole of Christian spirituality, of ministry, we end up seeing just how messy this whole thing is.
The world, your work place, the church, the book club you belong to, and even places like the White House are fully of... well... humans.
Shocking I know.
Truth is though sometimes we act like that these places are full of people who are other than human. People who have it all together, who never mess up, who are always doing "good."
And then when something goes wrong we are all flabbergasted because we thought that _______ had this whole thing together.
The Church has been one of those places in many cases, hasn't it?
The place where we are supposed to be able to go to no matter how we look, no matter what our issues are, no matter what our hang-ups are...
Sadly over time many decided that spirituality wasn't messy anymore, that if you wanted to follow Jesus you had to have it all together. At least that's how it felt anyway right.
Perhaps though the most exciting part about our Gospel is that it is messy!
That we are all on this journey together and the moment we think we've got it all figured out or that we can do it all alone... that's when we should be pitied the most.
As Kaleo Nashville we are humbled and yet joyous at the fact that we are a messy community, a community with a common kingdom purpose, walking together with with a message that constantly brings us back to the broken, the hurting, the hungry, the lonely, and the lost.
Come be messy with us
