Rewriting The Narrative — Ali Herbert

Throughout our lives, both intentionally and unintentionally, we build up narratives about ourselves. Narratives built very often to answer the big questions: who am I? Am I worthy of being loved?

When we come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we discover a beautiful new narrative written over us that we are God’s children, fully known and loved - but it is often hard to live out of that narrative that ‘we are what he has made us’ (Eph 2) and we are ‘delighted in’ (Zeph 3).

In Jeremiah 2 we hear the Lord saying,

‘They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.’

How do we allow God to rewrite the narrative over us, leave behind the ‘broken cisterns’ and discover the living water he has for us?

Ali unpacks what it might mean to have the narratives rewritten over us and the transformation that can bring in us, in our churches and the communities in which we live.
