Listen "Self Stories"
Episode Synopsis
We’re taking on the hermeneutics of self-creation, which is a fancy way to say how we interpret our self to ourselves. We all have a story that we believe about who we are, and that story impacts the way we present ourselves to others.In today’s episode, we share some of our own stories and how we have chosen to “re-story” ourselves as we have looked for healing. We also share some of the pathways and tools we’ve used along the way, in hopes that they might be helpful in your own journey. Get ready for a celebration of neuroplasticity, the adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain!——Key Takeaways William Randal says that there are three things that story us: our context, unconscious choices, and deliberate self-creation.Our brains are made to change and rewire.Re-writing our stories takes a village. Don’t do it alone.The way we talk to ourselves impacts how we imagine God speaking to us.——Resource LinksPDF: Resources from The Exile Project Episode 5William Randall: The Stories We Are - An Essay on Self-CreationCurt Thompson: The Soul of Shame - Retelling The Stories We Believe About OurselvesCurt Thompson: Neurofaith PodcastMasaru Emoto: Hidden Messages of Water——Bible References1 Corinthians 2: 8-10——Support the showThis podcast is a production of Worship Lab, and recorded in Brooklyn New York.
