My very last Deeper Story post
As you may or may not know, A Deeper Story is closing its doors this month. It’s the right thing for the site, but it’s bittersweet. Through Deeper Story, I’ve found a sweet community of writers, and I’ve had a space to tell an ongoing story, month after month, about “how church is hard and complicated and good, how following Jesus is always dangerous because it’s the realest thing. It’s true, all the way through.”
Today is my last post over there and in it I reflect on the big story God has been telling with my life these two and a half years.
“That first post was about pastors, the hope of good ones. I’ve also written about pastors who fail. I’ve written about half-hearted faith and half-hearted thanks. I’ve written about how there is not a trophy for strong faith, a God-medal for the most perfect life. I’ve written here about the hope of failure and the grace of learning to become a priest-mama, believing that we will be made whole, despite our ashes.”
