God's Narrative, Not Mine


Listen Later

It's easy for us to adopt a false narrative when we believe life is happening to us but that is just living from a human perspective. God's perspective is that life is happening for us. In this episode I take a deep dive into my own story and put myself on the chopping block of how the very real experiences going through the foster care system shaped a narrative of an abandonment, fear, loss and lack love mindset to God rewriting a story of victory as He so often loves to do. Our stories are our training grounds to build relationships and draw us closer to Him and to become more like God. He has no interest in being like us, so thank God for that! I speak about His vision He gave me about my book of life and how each of us have a choice to allow Him to write profound words upon our hearts or we can continue to implement a messy canvas. This is God's invitation to us daily. So the question becomes "What narratives have we adopted along the way that are not God's truths about us? Are we willing to lay down our story for a greater story, He wants us to walk in with Him? May is foster care awareness month and my new book "Good Morning Superstar" is all about setting the tone for your day and helping you reshape how we look at things that arise in our lives. The best part is that all the proceeds go to impacting foster families and aging out youth to help them sustain in uncertain times. www.stevieyb.com https://www.amazon.com/Good-Morning-Super-Steven-Benedict/dp/0578762838/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=good+morning+superstar&qid=1620343230&sr=8-2
