STAY IN THE STORY
Stay in the Story is all about staying in the story of our lives and what God’s called us to.
Whether it’s regarding a future spouse, a career goal, or even something for our families - ALL of us can relate to the idea of waiting and what does it look like to wait well? As opposed to sitting back eating bon bons just letting life pass. When we can be intentional in the wait and when we can draw close to God, he’ll draw near to us. When we engage HIM in conversation he can actually take us along the journey. Waiting well doesn’t have to be hard. Getting to do this in a community of people that encourages people to dive into life with one another as the “wait” continues is always worth it. Lastly, we prepared some takeaway questions for you to reflect on today’s podcast. Set aside a few minutes to journal through these questions. We hope they help spur you towards more!
TAKEAWAY QUESTIONS -
Good or bad, what is the narrative you grew up with versus what you have now about who you are?
Have you had any lifelong goals or dreams since an early age that you’ve gotten to check off? If not, why? If yes, what did you learn from them? Are there any lies in your own life you’re struggling with because you are believing them?
Why not make today a day you start to identify the lies and then remind yourself of the freedom JESUS has brought so that you can tell yourself the TRUTH about who you are?
How can you be the best version of yourself today?
Look at all areas of your life - Relationships? Health? Fitness? Financially? Career? On a scale of 1-10 how satisfied are you with these areas and what would it look like if you asked God to help you in the journey of that place, today?
Do you ever think long term? Do you find yourself thinking about who or how you want to impact others? What could be one thing you set your eyes on today, that helps you live today with a little more purpose? What would YOU say is the key to staying in the story of your life?
We’d love to hear your thoughts after today’s podcast.
