We humans are really good at creating rules where God didn't make any or divisions where He declared peace. But, as we'll discover, God challenges our assumptions, our traditions, and our comfort zones. Come along and wrestle with the truth that God doesn't play favorites and neither should we.
Have you ever felt like you've messed up so badly that God could never love you? Come and discover that grace isn't reserved for the perfect. It's for anyone who is willing to receive it, because no story is too broken for redemption.
