Stan Mitchell | GracePointe Church

GracePointe Church | Nashville, TN

Between the crucifixion and the resurrection, there was a silent Saturday of uncertainty and fear. And many of us experience that same kind of season when we begin to deconstruct our theologies. Today, GracePointe’s founding pastor Stan Mitchell reminds us that it’s OK to miss what we’ve left behind and to still feel the effects of the wounds we’ve received in the past. He also encourages us to not become so callused that we leave acceptance and hope behind, and he reminds us to think about the things we stand for, not just what we’re against.
