Rev. Alex Riviera passionately addresses the concept of being "body positive" within the context of the Christian church. He begins by describing a moment of worship and connection with God, emphasizing the importance of praising despite the imperfections of the church. He shares his personal journey and familial anecdotes, setting the stage for a discussion on embracing the brokenness within the body of Christ. Drawing from the book of Romans and Mark, he highlights the reality of the church's imperfections while stressing the necessity of still loving and supporting it. Pastor Rivera challenges the students, to maintain a positive outlook on the church despite its flaws, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of ecclesiology. He acknowledges the brokenness within the church but encourages a perspective that doesn't ignore it but rather confronts it with love and truth. This is a message that will help you grow spiritually!
