Every Day Faith. Faith Every Day.

Got Mud? Yeah, Me Too

Mud Story

She calls my story a “muddy trek for sure,” and I would have to agree. My journey from unbelief to belief is a muddy story indeed, but I think that’s what makes it so real and, in a way, so appealing to others. We’ve all got some mud in our past, yes? We’ve all got some gritty stuff in our history. No one makes it through this life on earth without some bumps and scratches, without some dirt under the fingernails and grass stains on the knees. But here’s the truth, friends — God loves us, no matter what. No matter our mistakes. No matter our past. No matter our mud.

I recently had the absolute pleasure to chat with Jacque Watkins, host of the podcast series Mud Stories. Jacque knew my gritty spiritual background would be a good fit for her series, so she invited me to pull up a chair, get comfortable and chat with her about the good, the bad and the ugly of my spiritual journey.

I hope you’ll join us for this chat. Jacque and I dig into some deep issues in this conversation, but we have a lot of fun too. So pour yourself a cup of tea, cozy into the couch and listen in. I think you will be both entertained and, I hope, blessed.
