The Stories We Tell

Guest preacher Rev. Katherine Malloy explores how the stories we tell ourselves have tremendous power to shape our lives and communities. Using her personal journey from being cut from sports teams to eventually finding joy in fitness again, she illustrates how negative narratives can limit us for years, while rewriting our stories can lead to transformation and hope. She challenges Sterling UMC, celebrating 150 years of ministry, to examine what stories they're telling about themselves and to courageously embrace God's vision for their future, remembering that "the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).
