God has definitely got a seriously big heart for the fallen.
Take a look at how He's used Corrie and I... seriously fallen folk... stretched to lead and pastor under the cloak of a redeemed Holy Spirit-filled life.
Take a look at our Kids' Pastors Ryan and Kelly.... seriously fallen folk... radically redeemed to become God's hands and feet to kids both during the week and during church meetings.
Take a look at a convo I had with a Worship PAstor guy who recently left his church... seriously fallen guy... whom God has empowered to lead music for the saints and involve other fallen folk in passionate seeking of the Father's heart.
Take a look at our Grubby Kupp brethren... seriously fallen folk... who are pressed but not crushed, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but nat destroyed.
Take a look at brother Jeff or the Johnsons or Brian Converse or the Istnicks... all seriously fallen folk... prepped by the love of Christ impacting their hearts, beat down by the stuff of life and the church, and YET still impacting the Kingdom through their conversations, their hearts, through their sacrifices of time, resources, love, hope...
Jesus... we LOVE you so much and we praise you for using seriously fallen folk.
