The Pastor's Table

Incarnation Means Embracing the Mess | Jenni Wong Clayville (Part 1) | PT 5

Listen Later

The call to follow and serve Christ is a call to the Church.

Jenni Wong Clayville reminds us that we bring what is both wrong and beautiful into the church. Anyone who has served in ministry knows ministry can be messy. Jenni invites those in ministry to embrace this mess with humility and serve God faithfully.  

She helps give pastors a vision to serve in a way where we love God. Love each other and figure life out with our church communities.  

Discussion Questions: 

  1. Jenni and Mark talk about how we can easily have a romanticized view of 1st-century churches. How would you describe your view of the early Christian communities seen in the New Testament?   
  2. Embracing the mess of real life was a theme that kept coming up in the conversation. What do you do to embrace the mess in your ministry?  
  3. Jenni shared with great honesty how she had to code-switch to the dominant culture as an Asian American. What did you learn about code-switching from her experience? 
  4. Tara Beth shared about embodying Jesus’ Kingdom means being willing to expand the table. Where could you expand who is around your table?
