The call to follow and serve Christ is a call to the Church.Jenni Wong Clayville reminds us that we bring what is both wrong and beautiful into the church. Anyone who has served in ministry knows ministry can be messy. Jenni invites those in ministry to embrace this mess with humility and serve God faithfully.  She helps give pastors a vision to serve in a way where we love God. Love each other and figure life out with our church communities.  Discussion Questions:
