I’ve lived much of my life on the performance treadmill. Even in church. It sucks. This message is something I heard from Tullian about 11 or 12 years ago. And it never gets old. Thanks
Years of police work (added to a neglected childhood) turned me “RAW”. I was touched to hear you use this term. I thought I needed to change my “rawness”. BUT, I like that I’m raw. And Tullian, you made me realize it is more than ok to be that way, it is preferable. Thank you
This sermon series was written for me. I am the outsider you speak about. I’m in the UK and sadly feel quite isolated from other Christians. I’ve never found a church environment where I feel comfortable. God bless you and thank you Tullian.
It was 1997-1998, and I was at CIU with Tullian... I was not his peer in the sense that we were classmates, but geographically at the same school. I crashed and burned at school and dove deep into Phillip Yanceys' book, "Whats so Amazing About Grace," after dropping out of school. I continually go to war with my inner legalist and find myself applying my inner legalist to my children at times. It truly is the kindness of the Lord that leads us to repentance, and that kindness inspires my obedience. The "Outsiders," in my opinion, are those of us who have to learn the hard way. Those of us who have been humbled by Grace after we self-destruct. We become those who love much, for we have been forgiven much.
I can so relate to this. After growing up trying to please others and not knowing till more recently why I struggled. (anxiety & trauma) Attending church wasn't so easy. I came out of one church years ago, now I'm about to exit another one - because it's so difficult to find safe people to be vulnerable with and so much about the performance machine, people are burned out. God's grace is a subject we truly need to understand. I wish we had somewhere like this in the UK. I understand how recovery groups are a good idea.
💯👍🏻🤩 excellent job! Love and respect 🫡 from Canada 🇨🇦. So raw so real such humility thank you 🙏🏻. It’s all about what Jesus did not what we do TETELESTAI! IT IS FINISHED BUT… DO PEOPLE TRULY BELIEVE JESUS WHEN HE SAID JOB DONE PROBLEM FIXED IF YOU WOULD JUST SIMPLY BELIEVE JESUS.
25:07 this is where I'm at, and I'm so glad it hear someone articulate it better than I could. grace "ruined" me in this regard. its a challenge I did not foresee.
This man is a complete and utter fraud. It’s remarkable he’s duped another group of people to pay him and platform him. Narcissist at an absolute elite level, impressive really

So right.....Amen!!!
Bless you🙏
Can you share what that book is about?
@@vonn2221 it is a book that tells stories of Grace instead of trying to define it....

His message is good, and that place he talked about can be our closet prayer to God which can be daily not once a week
The private tune with God

I believe I didn't really crash and burn, I never got off the ground because of sabotage.
