“The cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love.”

- Mother Teresa 

Here’s the Big Idea:

Can you change the spiritual story you live in? Should you?

I can’t answer that for you, but for me…YES! Not only is it permissible to change the spiritual narrative I live in; I needed to.

For so long…

• I did not understand I was in a story framed by a violent and angry God. 
• I did not understand how it filled me with shame to believe I was separated from the Holy Spirit due to my unworthy and inherently evil human nature. 
• I did not understand how violent my narrative was when it culminated with Jesus’ brutal death in my place. 
• I did not understand how terrifying it was to believe in a God that needs a blood sacrifice to satisfy its divine sense of justice.
• I did not understand how my belief that I was God’s “chosen” while my neighbors were “dammed” contributed to supremacist and empire mentality.

I did not realize how my spiritual story shaped who I became and how I acted out on the world. I did not realize how my spiritual narrative shaped the community and country I live in. 

I needed a new narrative, a life-giving narrative. I needed a story to teach me how to live in harmony and co-create with others. I needed a story to help me understand collaborative power.

I needed a framework where I could see God creating, liberating, redeeming, and reconciling the whole world.

I needed a spiritual story that made sense in my mind and connected me back to my body and heart.

Bottom line: 

The stories we live in impact our psyche. 

Stories have the power to facilitate healing and transformation. 

Stories can heal us on a cellular level.
