Great post. I agree with it totally. I also believe that maybe it takes one who is this, to help others to become this. In the quest to satisfy all, authenticity has become something we try to be and again we fail because it is not who we really are but something we try to "put on" because it's what we think others want us to be. This may sound a bit like a page from a Dr Seuss book but in short.... Churches may need to be reminded what that authenticity looks like and maybe those on the outside needing this could be an agent of change to help the church to become this.
Thank you for your insightful post.
