FIRST-PERSON: Painful, joyous confession
Veronica Greear envisions a deeper level of authenticity among Christians -- moving from "Hot Mess Express" admissions to confession of such sins as pride, bitterness and coveting in order to know "the real healing Jesus brings."
Acceptable Authenticity
People today seem to value being honest and authentic above all else. I am concerned, however, about unintended consequences.
FIRST-PERSON: Unforeseen joy
Joy in the ministry, Veronica Greear writes, has entailed close relationships with the church staff and people in the congregation.
Unforeseen Joy
I have come to believe there are things J. D. and I practice that help us love what we do.
