What This Space Is

The Ugly Place is not a show built on performance or perfection. It is a space for honest faith, real stories, and quiet moments where Jesus feels close again. Here, nothing has to be cleaned up or explained before it’s welcomed.

The ugly place helped me drop my mask and feel truly seen—like Jesus was right there with me.
