Rewriting the Self - Sunday Service with Zach Helton

“Rewriting the Self: Finding Freedom in Bigger Stories,” Sunday Service presented by Zach Helton

Our minds work to pull us into roles: I am an employee… a parent… a partner… a voter. Each of these stories shapes our well-being. And while these roles matter, without perspective, they can seriously constrict our sense of self. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to zoom out from narrow, daily narratives and root ourselves in the deeper, cosmic stories of connection and continuity. By learning to live in multiple stories at once, this talk will explore how we might discover a grounded, sacred spaciousness in the midst of ordinary life.
