Risk

Here's a thought from the "Isn't She Beautiful", a conference celebrating the church at Mars Hill Bible Church. (Notes are provided by some guy named Longbrake.)

+the art of risk
//be willing to fail. and fail. and fail. the fear to fail is the fear to try. the church has become obsessed with putting on the perfect show for the world. there’s no risk. everything is safe. Jesus is not safe. christianity can be messy and hard and vulnerable. there’s risk in allowing ourselves to try, to create, to invite. i’d rather fail than be safe.
