Narratives Experience

At The Vine, we want following Jesus to not just what we believe, or how we behave, but the stories we live from. 

Each of us carries stories about who we are, who God is, and how love works. Those stories shape how we pray, how we rest, how we love, and how we show up with each other.

Transforming our narratives is part of how we grow together in following Jesus. We do it by paying attention to our stories with curiosity and kindness, understanding where they came from, and letting them be met by the love of God.

One key way we practice this is through our Narratives Experience.

The Narratives Experience is a focused six-step journey for anyone who wants to work with one story more intentionally. Through reflection, guided imaginative meditation, and reflection with community, you'll explore a narrative you've been living from, seek to understand it, and begin to consider how Jesus might want to shape that story.

Join us this fall

There are two ways to do the Narratives Experience this fall. You can go through it with a pod, working through each step alongside a small group and gathering to learn together. Or you can go at your own pace with a coach, who'll walk with you one-on-one as you move through the steps on your own schedule. Both paths start at our kickoff on October 8th!  Email fabs@thevineaustin.org with any questions.
