Broken But Beautiful: Reflections on the Blessings of the Local Church

“I will build my church,” Jesus said. “And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”The ministry of Gospel-Centered Discipleship “exists to cultivate writers and resources that make, mature, and multiply disciples of Jesus.” Broken but Beautiful is a collection of some of our best writers and our best resources celebrating the local church.

If you’ve been around the church for any length of time, you’ve probably experienced hurt, whether from leaders or fellow members. We understand; most of us have scars too. But the local church is the bride of Christ and God’s plan to bless the world. These eclectic essays highlight many of those blessings, from how local churches have faithfully cared for the children of divorced parents to the many ways the body of Christ lifts our eyes from our morbid introspection—all while highlighting the wonderful truth that, through all the sin and sorrow, Jesus continues to build his church.

Broken but Beautiful is edited by Benjamin Vrbicek and has contributions from many of the Gospel-Centered Discipleship staff writers and editors, as well as other writing partners of the ministry. Contributions are included from Rob Bentz, Lara d’Entremont, Timarie Friesen, Brianna Lambert, Chrys Jones, Erin Jones, Glenna Marshall, Timothy M. Shorey, Tom Sugimura, James Williams, Jeremy Writebol, and others.

About the EditorBenjamin Vrbicek is the lead pastor at Community Evangelical Free Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and previously served as the Managing Editor for Gospel-Centered Discipleship.
