Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Scott and Jaime take some time to share pieces of their unique stories. They then delve into the idea of stories - the ways stories differ depending on who’s living or viewing them, the ways stories can change (often unexpectedly) over time, and the impact time and space can have on one’s ability to tell a story.

ACTion Event of the Week: Write YOUR story! Take some time to ponder and reflect. Then, sit down and start writing. Perhaps from the beginning…or maybe you choose to focus on a time or event that stands out most in your mind.

Where do we walk next? Join us on the next episode of Act to Live as we explore HOPE and FAITH!
