Episode 1
The Reframing Story
ReFrame aims to help you live out
faith in everyday life, encouraging you to encounter Jesus afresh and allowing
his story to shape your own. This first session explores how a fragmented and
complex world can tempt Christians to either withdraw from or assimilate to
the culture around them. However, the true story of Jesus enables Christians to
resist these temptations and live integrated and faithful lives.
Episode Outline
Complexity —Modern life is getting more complex and fragmented.
Integration —We experience competing cultural messages and can find it difficult to integrate life with faith.
Assimilate or Withdraw —The complexity and challenge of living out one’s faith tempts Christians to assimilate or withdraw.
Example of Emmaus —Knowing the biblical story and being shaped by it helps us live integrated and authentic lives.
Jesus —The true story of Jesus makes sense of everything, bringing meaning and purpose to all of life.
