And as with that stash of old clothes in the closet or that stew of phone chargers, pens, and half-used batteries sitting in your kitchen drawer, something in us says, \"This might be useful.\" And so we hold on. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But should we? For many, this junk drawer spirituality has become burdensome. We are worn down by the religious experience it creates and frustrated by a collection of traditions, \"truths,\" and unfulfilled promises that continue to grow. In \u003ci\u003eJunk Drawer Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, the spiritually exhausted are invited to examine our religious clutter and compare it to the person and the promises of Jesus Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e We'll discover what--if anything--of our spiritual collection should be kept. In the process, we rediscover the soul-satisfying simplicity of a God who refuses to fill our lives with junk but instead offers grace upon grace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatt Popovits serves as Senior Pastor of St. Mark Houston.
