Authenticity:
Is it really possible? Can we as people actually be the authentic believer we so desperately want everyone to be?

I was reading and article in this months edition of RELEVANT LEADER, talking about imperfect leaders, and how we as leadership should not fear letting the world hear from our lips what they already know in their hearts...that we screw up too.

This resonated with me so loud and clear...in that i think it would foster real authenticity...the kind we all are preaching about, with those around us...if we too shared our junk.

None of us have arrived...i think that brings a huge sign of hope to the world around us...if no one has yet arived...then that means that no one is left behind...which in turn means, that we are all in this together.
I so badly want people to open up to each other...let people into their lives...because relationship are what we live for...and starts with me.

Hi...Im Bobby, and sometimes i really suck. I struggle with pride, i am an approval junkie, i am guilty of lust, i can be judge-mental, and i have even been know to run my mouth a time or two-hundred million. To be honest...i drop the ball in ways i wish i didn't many times a day. (just ask my wife)

I love God...sometimes i have know clue why He loves me...but thats part of the mystery i hope i never really understand.

Am i authentic? one day i really hope to be.

My name is Christine, I am going to be 27, and I can definitely relate to your not being authentic.

In listening to you speak honestly at Revo on Monday evenings at 8 o'clock I see myself in what God is asking you to preach to our generation. I watch the nodding heads, the smiles, and the tears that come across so many faces each time I go. I am so moved by the Holy Spirit sometimes I want to jump out of my chair at the opportunities I feel pulling at my soul.

You are creating a lasting impression on us 1980 something babies, to create in our community a sense of unity and faithfulness our generation is really hurting to see. With God working in each and every one of us walking in those doors on Monday nights this want for real worship and praise to Our Lord and Saviour will be Realized! Keep up the obedience and Rock on! I am bringing up my son to be a faithful MAN OF GOD for the up and coming generation. He is only 1 but never to early to tell him of what God has done for all of us.
Peace and Be A Blessing to someone today.

Thanks Bobby for being so authentic... you're a role model to many, including myself. I want to become more real, so others can relate to my struggles and maybe in some way I can help others thru their's.
