Podcasts about messy grace

2025-11-16 Messy Grace by The Rev Anders Edstrom This message is from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. It is the third in the new sermon series “Prayers of Gratitude”. The Scripture is 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 Thanksgiving for the Corinthians 4 I thank my God always for you, because of God's grace that was given to you in Christ Jesus. 5 That is, you were made rich through him in everything: in all your communication and every kind of knowledge, 6 in the same way that the testimony about Christ was confirmed with you. 7 The result is that you aren't missing any spiritual gift while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also confirm your testimony about Christ until the end so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, and you were called by him to partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Messy Grace Ridiculous Grace April 28, 2024 As we are wrap up our series Ridiculous Grace, this Sunday, we'll be taking a look at the idea of messy grace. We all know that life is messy.  Our world is broken, our systems are broken, WE are broken… all of us. Some of us disguise our messiness better than others, but that doesn't make it any less true. You see, for the most part, you and I, and the world around us, are running on the wrong kind of fuel. Join us as we discover more about what it would be like to live a grace-fueled life. You'll get farther on the fuel of grace.  ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ---------------------------------- Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/sermons Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

The world tends to define individuals by their imperfections and messy circumstances. But God sees beyond the messiness, embracing everyone as His children with unconditional love. The church is a beautiful mosaic of broken lives that God has united to glorify Himself! -- Download the One Crossing app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecrossing.net/app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecrossing.net/giving⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Helping people come to an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

THIS IS US Message #3 “Messy Grace” Scripture: Ephesians 4:20-32 Pastor Phil Whetstone May 28, 2023

It is May and Mental Health Awareness month. I can't think of anything better to focus on than our teens. I always loved working with teens, because I felt it was preventive medicine for their future. We have all heard the concerning statistics of how mental health issues are rising in teens. Suicide, anxiety and depression have skyrocketed (If you haven't listened to my Episode #80 on "Hope for the Problem of Suicide, w/Matthew Sleeth", check it out). This is only the start of the mental health issues, so it's hard to know where to focus.  What I have found over my 34+ years of counseling is that at the heart of most people's problems is Identity. And during the preteen/teen years is where this exploration hits a high note. Who am I? What is my value? What is my purpose? Am I seen, known, loved, accepted?  On this Podcast for the next 6 weeks, we will be focusing on the the journey of identity. In the cultural climate we are in, that means we need to address gender identity/confusion and gender dysphoria, because it seems this is the ‘measuring stick' youth (and adults) are being encouraged to use. As Christians' how do we help kids navigate this journey? My goal in this series is to have conversations; give information, educate, empower and equip parents, grandparents, leaders, and youth. I will not tell you what to do or how to think, although some of my opinions (as well as my guests) will come through.  I want us to think about these issues thoroughly and be equipped to help kids do the same. Today is an introduction and laying of the groundwork to these conversations. This is not the an easy topic to explore, but it's essential. We have an entire generation of youth who need hope and healing. Let's join together and help change their world.

They talk about some of the issues surrounding this topic, andd how we as believers should respond in truth and grace. This episode introduces a new segment called "Behind Enemy Lines" where they try to give some insight into what the enemy might be doing to push people away from God.

Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a child and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. Invited to a Bible study by a friend, Caleb thought he would go and dismantle their faith, but was surprised to find a loving, caring God that wanted a relationship with him all along. From that day on, Caleb has dedicated his life to ministry and has become one of the nation's leading experts on how to help churches love and foster community with LGBTQ individuals without sacrificing theological convictions. On today's episode of Godly Goosebumps, Pastor Dudley Rutherford talks with Caleb Kaltenbach about growing up in the LGBTQ community with three gay parents, and how "Christians" interact with the LGBTQ community. Caleb also shares practical ways for us as Christians to love on and share the message of Jesus with the LGBTQ community. You can learn more about Caleb and his ministry Messy Grace at calebkaltenbach.com.

In chapter 2, we are introduced to three complex characters. In the king, we see the lack of accountability in his attitude and behavior. We are also introduced to Mordecai and his cousin Esther as they are faced with choices of faith vs convenience.

Caleb Kaltenbach (author of Messy Grace, and Messy Truth) shares on how the church can build better relationships with people in the LGBTQ+ community. Growing up in split home with parents who both identified as gay and lesbian, Caleb brings unique perspective and understanding on how all people can pursue righteousness together.

“Empathy is acknowledging someone's reality. It's the same as acceptance. There is a difference between acceptance and agreement. We are commanded by God to accept everyone, but we are not commanded to approve of their opinions or political views we are called to love them.” “A Distorted View of God leads to a Distorted way of life” Tune in to today's episode “Messy Truth” with Caleb Kaltenbach. Caleb is the founder of The Messy Grace Group where he helps churches love and foster community with LGBTQ individuals without sacrificing theological convictions. He's the author of Messy Truth, God of Tomorrow, and Messy Grace (where he discusses being raised in the LGBTQ community, following Jesus, and how loving others doesn't require shifting beliefs). In this episode we discuss: How truth can be messy! The spiritual impact on children raised by LGTBQ parents Creating an environment in The Church that welcomes all people without incompatible with church doctrine. Why the LGTBQ community believes Christians hate them. Having authentic relationships with people who are not like us.

Caleb Kaltenbach is a pastor and founder of The Messy Grace Group. Sometimes, grace gets messy... Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBTQ parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor. Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace. Messy Grace shows us that Jesus's command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn't have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it's messy.

To reach those who do not know God, Christians must learn how to live in tension. In this sermon, we discuss how Christians have to ask what they are willing to do to build influence in the lives of those around them.  Speaker: Caleb Kaltenbach

It doesn't matter how messy you are; God loves you. God loves messy people! When God's perfect grace intersects with our messy lives, it looks like messy grace. We can learn to love each other as God loves us when we understand that love is the tension of both grace and truth.Caleb Kaltenbach • Asking for a Friend • John 8:2-11
