Standing Naked Before God: The Art of Public Confession

Confess! Forget the docile confessions of Sunday liturgy and lay it all bare before God and one another. With wit, grace, and a healthy dose of vulnerability, Molly Baskette shares the story of how her church grew in membership and fellowship through a radical style of confession. This sequel to Real Good Church features First Church Somerville UCC's counter-cultural practice of public confession of sin — which is the most essential of the 200 turnaround practices in Real Good Church. By showing up and telling the truth — the whole truth — our churches can finally become places of real authenticity for millennials and Gen Xers looking for a hypocrisy-shedding, fully integrated spirituality. Includes a how-to for reluctant churches, and a moving anthology of testimonies. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUXvKQ0AZJQ&a...
