#103 Embracing Your Story with Pastor and Counselor Will Chenault


Listen Later

It's easy to read about someone else's knotted up life but it's hard to uncover the knots in our own lives.  Will Chenault understands the power of our stories and why they matter in light of God's larger story. You will appreciate Will's practical insight and wisdom as he leads us down a road that isn't as scary as we thought.  

If we don't tell our stories, our stories tell us.  But we can't name what we don't know. We have to identify where the harm happened so the healing can begin.  God wants to take those broken, shattered pieces and make something more beautiful than it was before.  We are so excited to share this episode with you.  

"God is working.  He's restoring.  He's bringing hope.  I wouldn't do this work if I didn't deeply believe that.  But we have to do the hard work. It's a holy calling, entering into the stories of others with a view towards redemption."

"If we don't do the work, a lot of Christians walk around with giant heads and shriveled hearts. We can know doctrine but not know how it impacts our relationships."

"We cannot be spiriually mature unless we are emotionally mature." Peter Scazzero, author of The Emotionally Healthy Church.

"I don't know where to cauterize the wound unless I know where you are bleeding."

Will is now affectionately known as "Mr. Amanda" (listen to Amanda Chenault's Rambling Episode 74)

Will is also the Soul Care Pastor at Fellowship Bible Church, entering into the lives of many people and helping them process things in their life at a point of need.  Learm more about Soul Care & Story Groups and Will's counseling practice at The Pratt Clinic.   The Sacred Romance by John Eldredge (one of Will's top 5 books that was monumental in discovering his life's calling)

Learn more about Dr. Larry Crabb (the father of Chrisitan Psychology) and Dr. Dan Allender (a pioneer in training people to listen and work through narratives of harm–both their own stories and the stories of others–to foster truth, goodness, and beauty in all of their relationships).

Proverbs 16:24: "Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."
