I was in Bible college the week before 9/11.
Testimony service. Folding chairs. Fluorescent lights. Mandatory attendance.
Everyone expected the usual: clean stories, safe sins, spiritual résumés.
Then a tattooed giant walked to the front with his wife.
Former heroin addict. Former bouncer.
She’d worked the streets. Met him through her pimp.
Both of them gripping Bibles like flotation devices.
They sang. Badly.
Then he preached for five minutes.
No polish. No structure. No seminary cadence.
The hermeneutics professor winced.
The English teacher checked the clock.
But the altar filled.
Heaven moved while the educated missed it.
That moment never left me.
Because it exposed something most Christians don’t want to admit:
God does His best work in people who are still a mess.
That’s why Jelly Roll scares the industry.
Pills. Prison. Years burned down.
Then he grabbed the Grammy mic and said the one name you’re not supposed to say out loud if you want to keep a career.
“I love you, Lord.”
The crowd cheered.
The suits froze.
They always do.
Because God isn’t finished with him yet.
And unfinished people are dangerous.
Moses wasn’t Moses overnight.
He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Rage took over.
Looked left. Looked right. No witnesses.
So he killed him.
Buried the body in the sand.
Forty years later he’s still running when the bush burns. Still seeing blood on his hands.
“Who am I?” he asks.
God sends him anyway.
Not from murderer to hero.
From murderer to man still being worked on.
Paul didn’t become Paul overnight either.
Stephen preached. Rocks flew. Skulls cracked.
Coats piled at Saul’s feet while he approved.
Years later, after writing half your New Testament, he’s still begging God about a thorn.
God doesn’t say, “You’re finished.”
He says, “My grace is sufficient.”
Your Bible reeks of in-progress redemption.
Exodus doesn’t hide the murder.
Acts doesn’t hide the coats.
KJV. No polish. No PR team.
That tattooed couple went home after chapel.
Monday came. Cravings stayed. Memories stayed.
God stayed.
Jelly Roll will wake up tomorrow with the same demons and the same industry pressure to shut up.
God will still be working.
You’re not disqualified.
You’re under construction.
Same clay. Same Potter. Same wheel.
Build anyway. Fall anyway. Get up anyway.
Barça fans too dey full of themselves?
Yes. And we have every reason to be.
The greatest player of all time came from La Masia Lionel Messi
The greatest manager of all time also came from La Masia Pep Guardiola.
Lionel Messi, a La Masia graduate, Has most balloon d’or in football history
No one comes close.
Messi is also the most decorated player in football history.
Dani Alves is the most decorated right-back ever and the second most decorated player of all time, only behind Messi.
In 2010, football history stood still.
The Ballon d’Or top 3 were all La Masia graduates, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
Three academy boys. One podium. Never done before. Never repeated.
Xavi and Iniesta didn’t just win trophies, they defined an era of football.
They changed how football is played from the middle.
Barça won a sextuple with a team built around academy boys.
Not galácticos. Not oil money. Pure football culture.
Let’s talk about legends who wore the Barça shirt:
Cruyff.
Maradona.
Ronaldinho.
Henry.
Ronaldo Nazário.
Romário.
Rivaldo.
Stoichkov.
Puyol.
Guardiola.
Busquets.
Aguero
Figo
Ibrahimovic
Neymar
Suarez
Lewandowski
Xavi.
Iniesta.
Messi.
Icons. Ballon d’Or winners. World Cup winners.
Eras were built here.
And it didn’t stop there.
Barça youngsters won the Golden Boy award back-to-back-to-back:
Pedri. Gavi. Lamine Yamal.
Three different generations.
Same club. Same factory.
Even the women’s team dominates football.
Alexia Putellas — Ballon d’Or winner.
Aitana Bonmatí — Ballon d’Or winner.
Men’s football. Women’s football.
Past. Present. Future.
La Masia everywhere.
So yes, Barça fans dey proud.
When your club produced the GOAT, the most Ballon d’Or winner ever, raised legends, ruled academies, and dominated football on all fronts…
You don’t explain yourself.
You stand on history. 🔵🔴
You have no idea what God will do with your obedience. The things lurking at the other side of a life devoted to His cause; things of great eternal significance.
Heaven is beckoning on men to rise up, to respond, to sanctify themselves, for the Lord will do wonders in our midst.
