Becoming Whole
The stories we believe shape our work with the poor. What if there's a better story—and a better way to help the poor?
Understand the power of stories to shape us
Recognize how false stories hurt us—and the poor
Discover a better story—God's story!
The story of the American Dream doesn’t add up.
We’re the richest people to walk the earth—but we’re increasingly anxious, alone, and dissatisfied.
Yet when we try to help the poor, we often invite them into the same broken story.
There’s hope for all of us in a better story.
Through Becoming Whole, you’ll discover how to be reshaped by God’s story of change!
