I preach in shredded jeans, untucked t-shirt, I sit on a stool and have no pulpit. It's one thing for me to say "Come as you are" and it's another thing to create an environment where people actually can.

As far as the so-called "holiness convictions" go.....I don't understand any of them.

I do, however, understand grace.
