The Messy Podcast

Scott Mehl

Everyone's life is messy. There's no way of avoiding it. We live in a fallen world everyday, and it creates a mess. We live with our fallen hearts everyday, and they create a mess. But it's into this mess that Jesus Christ came bringing hope, reconciliation, and redemption for everything we do and experience. Jesus transforms the mess. In our modern world, the mess can feel increasingly complicated, and the immensity of the mess can leave us wondering if the good news of the Gospel is really the answer we need.
