Yep it's official !! Jesus has seriously messed me up - I had it all sorted, boxed in, nice career, money, personally secure, emotionally whole, doing church all tidy and neat. But actually following Jesus will screw all that up - hanging out with freaky people, feeling compassion deeply messes up any hope of emotional serenity ( I mean Van Goch was a pioneer minister in inner London - rejected and ridiculed by other 'believers' and look what happened to him), I've found it a financial struggle and the new shapes of church, mission and leadership are far more trying than they used to be.
So watch out - following Christ can seriously affect your health
