So this past Thursday I was given the opportunity to meet Nadia Bolz-Weber. A former comedian and alcoholic, now Lutheran pastor. She has written two books including Salvation on the Small Screen? and Cranky Beautiful Faith. Her major drive in the Lutheran faith is all are welcome. We are both sinner and saint 100% all the time and by the grace of God and the death of Jesus on the cross we are ALL saved point blank it is finished. It doesn't matter what you look like, who you love, what you have done or not done with or in your life. You are saved. Period. She is a new voice of truth in today's world of Christianity where the faith has become mostly based on nostalgia instead of tradition. She is a reformer of the church. I had never heard of Nadia before my meeting her on Thursday but she is someone who's voice and teachings will weave their way into this coming year and the rest of my life. In this year that I am supposed to be learning to be a servant of God and learning how to be a reformer of the church, my coming to know of Nadia Bolz-Weber was no chance meeting.
