Misfit Disciple
Welcome to Misfit Disciple
Are you tired of feeling like you have to be perfect? Like you have to look like you’ve got it all together?
Are you afraid to look messy? Afraid to admit when you’ve messed up? Afraid to take the mask off because if people saw the real you—the broken, imperfect, figuring-it-out version of you—they might not like what they see?
I’ve been there.
And honestly, I’m tired of superficial friendships and surface-level Christianity that make us feel like we have to perform instead of just be.
This is me.
Sometimes I’m messy. Sometimes I’ve got it together…well, maybe not as often as I’d like. But there’s one thing that never changes:
I love the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit!
I’m simply trying to follow the Lord the best way I know how. It’s not always perfect. It doesn’t always look pretty. (I can hear my husband in the background saying, “Just sit there and look pretty!” 😂)
But one thing I can promise you is this…
It’s real.
It’s raw.
It’s unfiltered.
No pretending.
No polished highlight reel.
Just an ordinary person chasing an extraordinary God.
If you’ve ever felt like the misfit in church, like you don’t fit the mold of what a “good Christian” is supposed to look like, welcome.
I think you’re going to fit in just fine here.
So come walk this journey with me.
Let’s ask the hard questions.
Let’s laugh.
Let’s cry.
Let’s grow.
Let’s stumble, get back up, and keep following Jesus together.
Because being a disciple was never about having it all together.
It was always about following the One who does.
Welcome to Misfit Disciple.
Let’s go.
