The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Service Leaders: Emrys Staton
Sunday, November 6 at 9:30 AM & 11:15 AM
|
We often create stories in our own minds to explain, justify, or make sense of what others are doing. In this way, we come accept a false version of things without creating the opportunity to really understand what is going on. If we don't get caught up in these stories, we can be more open to the realities of the world.
