The Power of Narrative #1
I am back now from a week of travel. I learned a lot, was reminded of a ton of things that I all too quickly forget, and reconnected with some friends from around the country.
I’ve gathered up these ideas from listening to B. B. Taylor -
- Don’t listen to stories that are too shallow. They make life into less than it really is.
- Let the Bible tell you what stories are most important.
- Any story that I will take to make my story must
1. Honor people not like me.
2. Let me argue with it.
3. Level with me about the cost of love.
The Bible tells us a story like this– where Jesus comes to honor, serve, wrestle, and ultimately love those who would follow him to death. After everything else, there is new life.
