About the book

A companion guide for the Intro to Messy Care and Discipleship video series from IBCD, based on the book Loving Messy People by Scott Mehl

We all live our lives in the context of relationships and, in the course of those relationships, everyone experiences problems. Does Scripture have anything to say about how we approach one another in the mess of life? Of course it does! Scripture provides us with dozens of “one-another” commands, each with a unique application for how we are called to love those around us, particularly when relationships get messy.

The IBCD Intro to (Messy) Care and Discipleship workbook is divided into eight separate lessons (with accompanying video teachings and roundtable discussions) designed to help you better understand how relationships work in the mess of life. You will discover and appreciate the beauty of God’s design as he uses you in your relationships to transform his children into the image of his Son. You will consider some of the barriers that exist in one- another care as well as some of the opportunities. And you will see the kindness of God as he approaches his people gently.
