What do Olympic athletes, exhausted parents, and flawed disciples have in common? Comebacks. In this inspiring Mother’s Day message, Pastor Lisa shares the powerful true story of Norwegian skier Simen Hegstad Krüger—who went from a devastating crash at the start of the Olympic race to an unbelievable gold medal victory.

Pastor Lisa reminds us that flaws do not disqualify us—God’s mercy meets us in our mess. From vomiting toddlers on planes to lost wedding rings, to Peter’s heartbreaking denial of Jesus, this sermon is filled with humor, honesty, and biblical truth about how God can turn failure into faithfulness.Whether you're a tired mom, a recovering perfectionist, or just someone in need of a second chance—this message will encourage you to rise, keep going, and trust that Jesus uses the perfectly flawed.Key Scriptures:Lamentations 3:22-23Romans 3:23Luke 22:34, 54–62John 21:11Matthew 16:18Isaiah 26:3For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.
