This episode is a bit of a pivot from our normal stream of content, but oh so worth it. I believe it is essential to name and address the false narratives we let define and dictate our lives. In today's episode, I share a conversation with my friend Sarah Boonstra about the labels and messages that we have allowed to tack onto us, and have marked our stories.  I believe there is freedom when we can name something out in the open, and invite God to tell us who we are and whose we are. Can you relate? If so, reach out and let us know your own story. We'd love to hear.

How can we infuse our worship services with some holy creativity? What if church was more like a gymnasium than a museum, concert hall, or classroom? Thanks for listening!

Aaron Niequist is a liturgist, writer, and pastor living in NYC. After leading worship at Mars Hill Church (Grand Rapids, MI) and Willow Creek Church (Barrington, IL), he created A New Liturgy and is passionate about the holy possibilities at the intersection of modern and ancient forms of worship and spiritual practices. 

Aaron’s book, The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save Us from Drowning, is an invitation into deeper waters of spiritual formation. This is a killer read! I (Becky) highly recommend it.

Aaron also hosts some powerful conversations that can be found at the Eternal Current Podcast, available on all platforms podcasts are found.
