Embrace the Mess: The Spiritual Gift of Failure

Life is messy. We encounter it more often than we could care to admit: in our careers, in our relationships, and in our churches. Our success-worshipping culture gives us few ways to embrace the moments when we screw up at work, when no one shows up to our Bible study, or when we disappoint someone we care about. But what if the mess is a gift? We’ll explore scripture, learn how to claim the moments where everything doesn’t go as planned, and find ways to experience God within the complexity that is life.
