Welcome to the Broken & Messy Christian Club
Welcome to the Broken & Messy Christian Club
Think about who Jesus spent time with: Prostitutes. Tax collectors. Adulterers. The mentally unstable. People society labeled as losers.
Even His own disciples? Far from perfect draft picks. They were committed, yes—but also: ? Arguing over who was greatest ? Jealous ? Suspicious ? Accusatory ? Impulsive ? Selfish (See Matthew 18:1–5, Mark 9:30–41, Luke 9:43–50)
Let’s be honest—disciple or not, we’ve all got issues. And our issues have issues. ?
It’s time to burst the bubble of the “perfect Christian life.” Not so we can excuse our brokenness—but so we can face it, get real about it, and finally receive the help and healing we need.
Stop pretending. ✅ Start receiving grace.
You’re not alone. You’re not disqualified. You’re right where Jesus loves to meet people.
Strong Blessings,
Cedric
