To say we’re sorry can feel incredibly vulnerable, especially when we believe that we’re supposed to be perfect. But “sorry” is ultimately grounded in self-examination, and it has an important role to play as our faith evolves. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott moves us into the second part of our “Naked Spirituality” series, which is focused on complexity. He shares how making peace with the idea of “sorry” can help us come to terms with our own humanity and embrace the fact that we are always in process.
