Next Sunday June 6 (Ascension Sunday for you liturgical peeps) I will be away on vacation and my friend Matt Russell will preach. Matt just finished a PhD at Tech where he did his doctoral work in the spirituality of drug and alcohol recovery.
A lot of his research was based upon his experience at Mercy Street, a church he helped found whose mission "is to create a safe harbor for the hurt, the lost, the seeking so that we might experience the radical grace of God!" A lot of folks in recovery have found Mercy Street to be the kind of church they needed - a community of Jesus-like inclusion and grace.
Here's a link to Matt talking about Mercy Street. Matt is the blonde guy, but I would love to hear the big, burly, biker-dude below preach also.
