Misfit Preachers Finding the "Good" in Good Friday [S3.E2]
Takeaways:
- Sitting in someone else's pain is way more helpful than throwing around advice.
- When we're hurt, we just want someone to be there, not preach at us, right?
- Jesus totally gets our mess and still loves us like crazy; that’s grace in action!
- The cross is like the ultimate rescue mission for the most messed-up among us.
- It's not about how good we are; it's about how good He is for us.
- We all need to remember that God loves us despite our failures, not because of our successes.

Our trio of misfit pastors—Jean, Byron, and Tullian—are rolling up their sleeves and diving into the nitty-gritty of what it means to be present with those who are suffering. Instead of dishing out advice or trying to play the hero, they emphasize the power of just being there, sharing the load without trying to fix it. They share their own experiences of failure and grace, reminding us that Jesus came to rescue the most messed-up among us. It’s a light-hearted yet serious conversation that blends humor with heartfelt truths about God’s grace and the importance of community in times of struggle.
