Publisher's Description
What if the mess of your life is where God is about to do his best work? Life can be a tangled mess. Luke Lezon's mess came in the form of alarming health issues, transforming him from fun-loving and God-fearing to angry and hopeless. As Luke's health deteriorated for months without answers, the stress of not knowing suddenly spiraled into a mental and emotional breakdown. As a pastor, he wasn't supposed to struggle with life's mess - but then maybe we've been wrong about the mess all along. As Luke learned, you are not made of the mess, you are made through it. If you're feeling lonely or less-than, ashamed of where you've been or anxious about where you're going, this is a message crafted just for you: God is never afraid of a mess. He's never run from some dirt and blood. In fact, the mess is exactly where he does his best work. If we believe that God created us from dust and redeemed us through the blood of the cross, we can trust him with our tangled lives. Your Mess Matters is a lifeline to hang on to, a light in the dark reminding you that God is still at work, making your life more beautiful than ever before. Through vulnerable stories of his own journey and profound biblical truths, Luke will guide you through the process of entrusting your story to Jesus and letting him work his biggest promises through your greatest regrets. With Luke's encouraging insight and bold truth-telling, your mind will be comforted, your heart inspired, and your soul empowered to let God transform your mess into a masterpiece.

“Your Mess Matters. Exactly. Such a true statement, and now it’s a power-packed book that will challenge, inspire, and encourage you in your own personal journey. Luke Lezon writes with refreshing vulnerability and connects deeply with an honest but often overlooked reality for all of us—we’re all a mess! But with Jesus, that mess can be redeemed and transformed into something impactful.”
“If you’ve ever been stuck, if you’ve ever struggled, if you’ve ever asked, “Why me?” make this book your next read! Luke Lezon invites you on his journey from mess to message to masterpiece. This incredible resource is filled with eternal truths from Scripture and a compelling story that empathizes with your pain. Find hope, healing, and even meaning in some of life’s messiest moments.”
“Luke and I have been good friends for many years now. He was arguably my biggest mentor leading up to my marriage. He was and is a man I turn to iwhen I need help, but he’s also just a good friend I’ve shared countless laughs with. I believe this book will help you through whatever it is you can’t let go of, find yourself in, or will face in the future. If you’ve ever struggled, this book is for you. Luke writes with passion and power that leans on the Word of God. Your Mess Matters will help move you from the shame and pain you feel into the loving arms of Jesus.”
“The authenticity that Luke spills onto these pages is nothing less than soul-healing. People no longer want to read books from perfect Christians teaching them how to live perfect lives. They want to know that their mess matters and that God can bring them out of the mess. Luke delivers that perfectly in this new book.”
“From His own words, we learn that Jesus did not come for the righteous but for sinners, not for the healthy but for the sick. If you have become convinced that you are sinful or sick, or for that matter weak, fearful, out of control, or worn out, then Jesus—as well as the book you hold in your hands that points to Him—can be of great benefit to you. Luke does a fine job of introducing us to the One we call “The Great Physician.”
“In Your Mess Matters, Luke speaks from firsthand experience. I’ve walked through the messes of life, and Luke’s words give me hope—a hope we can cling to no matter what our lives look like today. Whether you’re in the middle of a mess right now or have gone through one in the past, I guarantee this book will meet you right where you are.”
“We need more books that talk about the mess. We need more books like this one, where the author isn’t afraid to get down in the trenches and record the faithfulness of God in the hard-to-share moments. This book will comfort you and remind you of the truth while giving you the assurance you need to keep powering through the journey.”
“Leaders are learners. I love Luke Lezon's passion to learn in every moment. I am grateful that my friend invites us to look into his life as a living testament that it is often in the depths of our valleys that God wants to grant the greatest vision.”
