Nathan Kollar's Invitation To Honesty Story:

My name is Nathan Kollar. I am a follower of Jesus. I am a husband to a wonderful wife and a father to four incredible kids. I have been an artist, a musician, and a songwriter for most of my life. I have been a pastor for almost 20 years. My wife and I have started several organizations and churches. We’ve served in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, west of Los Angeles in Santa Monica, and currently south of Nashville at GraceLand Church Franklin. I am grateful. I am hopeful. I have joy and I have peace.
​
I also battle depression. I have doubts. I have felt disqualified. I have felt hopeless and even had suicidal thoughts. One of the pain points of my life has been wondering, “Who can I be really honest with?” and “Will my honesty be met with rejection?”
​
Over the years,  I have learned that I am not alone. I have developed friendships with many who struggle. I have learned that I can live completely honestly, knowing I am loved unconditionally, which always leads to profound and Living Hope. In fact, the more honest I am, the more I circle back to the love of my Creator.
​
It’s important for me to regularly practice courageous vulnerability with my wife, close friends, mentors, and counselors. I’ve also worked with coaches and a spiritual director. The word “courageous” is important because it’s difficult. Asking for help at this level makes me feel uncomfortable and out of control. But these relationships have saved my life. These relationships have helped me be more honest with myself, with God, and with others. These relationships have helped me learn the incredible rest that comes from being fully known and fully loved. Invitation to Honesty was born out of a desire to learn a better way and help others do the same. There is hope for you. Join us.
