A Story You Tell | Stories: Looking Back To Go Forward | Bryant Golden

Read along with our chosen scripture: Genesis 39:6-10;38-40 Every decision we make becomes part of the story we’ll one day tell. Often, we don’t realize what’s at stake until we’re looking back, wondering if we’d make the same choice again. The key question is: When this decision is just a story, what story do I want to tell? The story of Joseph illustrates the power of choosing well, even when life is unfair. In this episode, we dive into the importance of the decisions we make and the stories they create in our lives. Join us as we explore a personal kayaking adventure that turned into a lesson about defining moments and the weight of our choices. We discuss how every decision, big or small, contributes to the narrative of our lives and how we can consciously choose the stories we want to tell. Using the powerful story of Joseph from the Old Testament, we highlight the significance of responding to life's challenges with intention and integrity, even when faced with difficult circumstances. Whether you're navigating relationships, career choices, or personal struggles, this episode encourages you to reflect on the story you're writing with each decision. What story do you want to tell? Tune in for insights that can help you shape a narrative worth sharing. Topics Covered: Personal anecdotes about kayaking and family adventures The impact of decisions on our life stories The story of Joseph and his resilience How to approach emotionally charged decisions The importance of writing a good story for your life ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching.
