Owning Your Story Won't Heal It. Stasi Eldredge on Breaking Agreement With Lies That Seek to Write Your Story

Stasi Eldredge joins me to confront why so many sincere followers of Jesus know about Him without ever coming to know Him, and why the culture's call to own your story has become a cloak that binds people to the very wound it promised to explain. We press into the difference between owning your story and honoring it, the practice of breaking agreement with the lies that took root in your pain, and why the same arrows keep finding the same place until you invite Jesus into it. This conversation will not hand you a better way to manage the ache. It will ask you to look honestly at what happened, to grieve what never should have happened, and to break agreement out loud with the lie while it still feels true. The Lord who asked, "Who told you that you were naked?" (Genesis 3:11, ESV) is asking you the same question now, not to shame you but to heal you, so answer Him honestly.
