Ep.080: Seeing your stories as part of a greater narrative.
Rather than hearing a story this week, I want to pause and talk about the importance of sharing our stories and being vulnerable. Whether you believe it or not, everyone has a story that matters, and our stories have the power to impact others. There is a cost of vulnerability and the need to share with safe people. One of my friends, Adsum Ravenhill, joins me and shares his perspective on vulnerability and pain. Adsum highlights the importance of trusting God and seeing our stories as part of a greater narrative. I hope that you enjoy this extraordinary episode.
Highlights and takeaways from the conversation:
Everyone has a story that matters and has the power to impact others.
Vulnerability comes at a cost and should be shared with safe people.
Sharing our stories should not be manipulative or self-serving.
Trusting God and seeing our stories as part of a greater narrative can bring hope and perspective.
"Your story matters because it impacts other people."
"When you share your vulnerability with someone, that can change a life."
"Vulnerability is a gift, a sacrifice, and it's costly."
