How will you go about taking all of the material – your insights, failures, pains, elations – and weave it into a beautiful story?    It’s tempting to create a story that others will want to read, but the pursuit of a story that leads to mass adoption and approval often ends in tragedy. The pursuit of a story that is beautiful to you, that you can weave in with the other stories of those you care most deeply about, often leads to redemption.    In this episode, Steph and Chad discuss ideas on becoming the author of your own life, learning to laugh at yourself, forgiveness, faith, and making your life the story you would love to read.   --- Mission.org is an original content studio and network of podcasts designed to level up your health, wealth, and wisdom.
