What will you tell others?

Think about a situation in your past where you took a risk. Where you laid out a plan for change, or new initiative and it didn't work. What story do you tell about it today?

If you fail at the current risky project you are facing, what story will you tell?

Who's fault is it that it didn't work?

The story you tell about why the project failed tells a lot about you and how responsible you are for your life. It tells about how you see yourself related to the rest of the world. Do you see yourself as a victim? Do you see yourself at fault? Do you take responsibility for your actions as they are connected to others?


We've all met the youth guy who can do no wrong, who's story unfolds telling how he has never had a pastor who that knew what he were doing. We've meet the pastor who's never served a congregation who could keep up with their ideas. We've met the new guy to the church plant core team who was burned by every single church they have ever attended and is so glad they found you, because you "get it". We tell a lot of stories.

What kind of stories do you tell?

What kind of stories will you tell?

The art of being a whole human being is taking responsibility for your life. Of refusing to be a consumer who can no longer meet their own needs, or the needs of others.
