Summary

Today we look at the growing trend of what I call "Messy Christianity" — the justification of unholy words or behavior in the name of vulnerability.

Every Monday, if you've been listening to my podcast for a while, you know we go through some

kind of theological subject or maybe something that's happening within Christianity that we need

0:16.7

to refute or we need to talk about. We need to discuss. Today, we were going to talk about a trend

0:21.7

that a lot of you have brought up to me, message me about. And that is what I call the messy Christian

0:26.9

trends or this kind of culturally relevant, cool Christian trend of rejoicing in rebellion and

0:35.6

rejoicing in what they call messiness, which is really synonymous in a lot of their cases to

1:41.4

making sure that if I'm in a location where there's public Wi-Fi, people aren't going to be able to
