Season 6 Episode 22 - THE HARVEST: Story & Metaphor Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

Join Rick for the fifth episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” We’re hard-wired for story, because we’re created by a storyteller. Our life is about our story. Story works to construct, give meaning to, and set boundaries around our experience of reality. It’s the “narrative code” that unlocks the meaning behind our experiences in life. The story we tell ourselves about ourselves determines how we function and influences our limitations and possibilities in life. So, how is Jesus infiltrating our story with redemptive plot twists, and what is he doing about the “contamination stories” that thread their way into our narrative, like weeds growing up with our wheat?

Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available! Head over to jesuscentereddaily.com to download a 10-day sampler of the devotion, or to order it for yourself or as a gift.
