We welcomed our guest speaker Dave McGovern with us on Sunday. Dave is a clinical mental health counselor and formerly the family pastor of our sending church TLC.

Humans are shaped by stories. We are the only beings in all of creation who make meaning through stories of the past, present, and future. We are shaped by both external and internal stories. Every day, we are faced with the choice of living into God’s story or the story of this world. God’s story is rooted in rescue, provision, connection, transformation, and purpose, while the world’s story is rooted in shame, fear, comparison, scarcity, insecurity, and isolation. The story you tell yourself is the story you will live and look for. This begs the question: What story are you living?
