Christmas is for the misfits,
the broken, and the overlooked—
because God flips the script
on who belongs

God's love doesn't
search for perfection.
He meets us in the mess

Jesus doesn’t wait for you to clean up your life;

What feels impossible in your life right now?
Remember, the same Prince of Peace
who was born in a stable
can bring peace
to your chaos
today if you
let Him

I used to think peace was a quiet place—
until I got there and realized I brought my chaos with me.

Here are the lyrics to "King in the Straw" for those who are interested....
King in the straw (in the style of Johnny Cash)

O come, all ye unfaithful, the lost and ashamed,
The wanderers, the broken, weighed down by your blame.
The doors are wide open, the manger’s your place,
Come see the Redeemer, the wellspring of grace.

O come, all you weary, the tired and torn,
The shadows have fled with the light of the morn.
The shepherds are singing, the angels rejoice,
For mercy has found us— lift up your voice!

From the outcasts and rebels to the heart filled with doubt,
The light of the world’s here to call your name out.
No gold did He bring, no riches or throne,
Just a promise of peace for the lost and alone.

O come, all ye hopeless, the bitter and bruised,
The wounded, the wandering, the ones who’ve been used.
Redemption is waiting; He’s crying your name,
At the side of His manger, you’ll never be the same.

(Chorus)
O come, lay it down, let your burdens be free,
The King in the straw came for you and for me.
No sinner too far, no soul out of reach,
Love was born to heal, to save, and to teach.

So come, all ye unfaithful,
His arms open wide,
The Savior is here
for the lost to abide.
The humble, the hurting,
the ones He calls friend,
Grace like this,
it will never end.
