Depending on your experience, you probably have different words racing through your mind when you hear the word "church."

Hypocrites.

Unloving.

Angry.

Legalistic.

Exclusionary.

Judgemental.

The list goes on and on.

With recent scandals surrounding Carl Lentz and Hillsong Church, Bill Hybels, and Tulian Tchividjian I can’t get the church out of my mind. These events leave me frustrated at how many (maybe the majority) of Christian leaders seem to be missing the point in their vocation as pastor.
