This is Tom. Tom's got some big questions like, "What's life all about?"
Is God real and what's the deal with this Jesus guy?
and why do people buy Snuggies?
These are all important questions that lots of people have
Problem is, Tom is not sure where to get his questions answered. Now, he did the church
thing with his parents when he was younger but that didn't work out so well. Turns out the
church frowned on teenagers smoking pot on the roof
or asking challenging questions
or swearing
or making out
They pretty much frowned on everything so Tom left the church 'cause
well he felt left out and unwanted
and Tom's thoughts on church haven't changed much since he was a kid.
It just seems like if you don't believe all the right things, say all the right
things and do all the right things you are on the outside of some exclusive
circle which sucks for Tom 'cause he's really seeking and soul-searching about
his Jesus God Snuggies questions.
there's a lot of tom's out there
people who have questions
people who are searching for God, truth, love and belonging.
Here's the good news
God's love is not exclusive
There's no circles, no barriers.
The only thing that matters is whether you're moving towards or away from Jesus
and here's the thing about Jesus. He went to parties, hung out with prostitutes,
tax collectors and sinners.
which means
he's up for hanging out with everyone
even if they smoked pot on the church roof or bought a Snuggie.
Here's more good news: churches should look and act like Jesus and
unfortunately some don't but fortunately some do.
