- Story As Family–>Each Other: Do you know the story of those in your family (community group etc)?
- Story As Missionaries–>Neighbors: Do you know the story of those in your neighborhood and surrounding community?
- Story As Servants–>Tangible Blessings: Knowing someone story will show you the gaps in their own Redemptive Story giving you the opportunity to be a tangible blessing
- Listen
- Listen To God First
