Jes Kast-Keat

One day, a soup-kitchen guest named what was happening: church, a worshiping community distinct from the larger congregation.

I was reading Morgan Guyton’s blog post asking if Christians can transcend celebrity culture. I resonated with that weird feeling of being not-quite-famous. I’m usually at a conference center, where people are looking at my colored leader’s nametag, trying to figure out who I am, while looking over my shoulder, to see if there’s someone more important behind me. Sometimes people figure out who I am and say, “Tribal Church! You’re Tribal Church.” Then 5 seconds later, “You’re so much shorter in real life.”

And I wonder how I could be shorter than a one-inch avatar.
