Jared Halverson on consecrating your faith crisis..”Jesus takes brokenness and turns it into beauty”

Recorded at our Fall Come Back to Christ Event in Provo, UT.

 

“I’m grateful for all that Jesus does with our brokenness. He doesn’t believe in creation ex nihilo, creation out of nothing. We don’t believe in it. Jesus doesn’t do it that way. He takes stuff and if you have stuff then you have something to offer. If you have brokenness, if you have doubt, if you have concern, if you have questions, if you have sin, if you have struggle, if you have sorrow, if you have broken hearts and contrite spirits or even broken covenants, whatever you’ve got, it’s stuff. It’s matter. And if you will consecrate to God your crisis, he can create something beautiful.”
