Messy Grace: How a Pastor with Gay Parents Learned to Love Others Without Sacrificing Conviction

Sometimes, grace gets messy.
Â
Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family.
Â
But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christianâ€¦and a pastor.
Â
Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace.
Â
Messy Grace shows us that Jesusâ€™s command to â€œlove your neighbor as yourselfâ€ doesnâ€™t have an exception clause for a gay â€œneighborâ€â€”or for that matter, any other â€œneighborâ€ we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when itâ€™s messy.
Â
Â Â
â€œMessy Grace is an important contribution to the conversation about sexual identity for churches and leaders. Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation.â€
