"It's not Jesus I can't stand, it's the church."
Ask anyone today for their perspective on Christianity and chances are you'll hear a statement like this. The hurt caused by the Church is epidemic. But what about Jesus? For those who haven't given up on following Him, is there a way to survive the hurt caused by churches and still follow a Savior who promises hope and grace for all people?
Wonky is for those who may have given up on Jesus because of Christians. This is a survival guide for those who long to encounter Jesus despite the faults of organized religion. Wonky is an honest walk through the halls of our churches naming the flaws and faults and still capturing some of the wonder that exists when Jesus is truly at the center of a community of believers.
