Why does everyone put on their best game face in church? Shouldn’t it be a safe place to show all of your garbage? I think it is. We’re always told to dress up nice on Sunday but do you think we dress ourselves up in other areas? Why can’t we just lay it all out there and actually become a community that’s healing, relevant, helpful, non judgmental?

I wish we could put on stickers at the front doors of the church that say “hello my name is…”

depressed…in debt…alcoholic…porn addict…marriage falling apart…in pain…etc.

But, we make out outsides look great while out insides are hurting and little do we know, the girl with the nice shoes beside us is dealing with the same thing. Too bad we’ll never know because we’re taught to look perfect and sinless. So we can’t share or else we’ll be found out.
