Story

Recently in our Life groups we've been on the topic of Story and Community.
At any given point you can go up to anyone and say: "Tell me your story." And you will begin to hear about a journey, a tale about this particular person's life.

Everyone has a unique story, a unique life, a story that is only theirs to tell.
And it is our story that makes up who we are. It's where we have come from that tells about where we are today.

So what does it mean to begin to share your story? To open your box, the box that we tend to keep all the hidden elements of our lives in... whether they be good, bad, or ugly.
Because it's when we begin emptying our box, that we begin to find ourselves in community. In community first and foremost with God, as we are open and surrenedered in our relationship with Him.
And also in community with each other, open to one another. Because again, true community can't happen if no-one knows who you are.

So, as the local church, Kaleo Nashville, we are living a particular story as-well, as a community. We realize that we are part of a greater story, the story that God is telling, and we are not the main character, but yet have a crucial role to play as God uses us to see His kingdom come into our lives, our city, and our world.

We ask that you would be in prayer for us as the body of Kaleo that we would be found faithful in the work God has given us here in Nashville.
