So far in the series we have covered Truth, Temple, and Union Restored. This week our theme is Hope Restored from chapter 4 of the book.

The title of this chapter is “Structural Stories.” Here we discussed stories that have shaped our core beliefs and how we view ourselves and the world. Many of you listening today have stories you could share about the pain and heartache you’ve experienced that was not your fault. I am so sorry. As I prepared for today’s episode I sensed God wants to restore your hope.

Scripture:

Psalm 34:4-5

Therapist Thoughts:

Journaling is a great way to process emotions and events. This practice can also help you notice themes in your life. If you find it hard to write long journal entries, try using bullet points instead.

Process:

What story in your life brings fear, doubt, or shame?

Journal about it. Look to God for help.
