Today we'll look at why sharing our stories is so powerful.  I'll share some of my personal stories that will help us understand the four levels of our brain.  There is a reason that Jesus told stories and used parables to help people understand the truth He was bringing forward.    What happens when we share our stories?  

We gain new perspective, we are strengthened, we understand ourselves more, we feel connected with others, we build trust in our relationships.    One of the reasons we read scripture is that it gives us so many different examples to show us what it is like to be human.  The stories bring us hope and encourage us that change is possible.  Jesus Himself came into our world to give us an example of how to live a Godly life.
