Someone has said that the world is run by people who just show up. I think that's true and that's exactly what Christians are called to do—just show up and be. With all our sin, our doubts, our fears, our failures, our neediness, our laughter, our freedom, our forgiveness...we need to show up. Evangelism is what happens when we are there and are real. It creates all kinds of questions for which Christ is the answer.
All we have to do is take off our masks, show up and not duck.
Some day, I hope to hear, “Hey Mack, take the cuffs off him, I think he’s a Hall of Famer!”

Show Up and Don't Duck
Steve Brown's March letter is out. Steve is one of the writer-teacher-preacher types that really gets it.
