Hi Reader,

What if the very signs you've been trying to avoid—the slip-ups, the doubt, the uncertainty—are actually evidence that your church is on the right path?

Somewhere along the way, we started believing healthy churches are "tidy" churches.

Think about it... the early church wasn’t clean or polished, and somehow, that’s exactly where God moved.

Maybe that’s the point.

So if things feel messy, it’s not always because you’re leading wrong. It’s simply because you’re leading real people:

• People who are still figuring out what they believe.
• People whose stories are complicated.
• People who love Jesus but are still sinners.

What are you really seeing in the people you lead? Is it dysfunction... or discipleship?
