Are you longing for healing and transformation in your life? Do you desire to uncover the true narrative of who you are and step into your full potential? If so, ReStory may hold the key to your personal growth and restoration journey.

ReStory is a revolutionary approach that delves into the sacred landscape of the human heart, intersecting theology, psychology, and ministry. It is an exploration of the first story - the divine design that God had in mind when He created every one of us.

We all bear the image of God within us, destined to reflect His character and love to the world. This is our first story, our true identity. However, many of us live as if a second story is the ruling narrative of our lives. This second story is filled with pain, trauma, and the effects of a broken world. It is a story that deviates from the original design of who we were meant to be.

The ReStory process invites us to engage in a profound journey of self-discovery and restoration. It begins by acknowledging both the first and second stories within us. By understanding the impact of our past experiences, traumas, and family dynamics, we can begin to recognize the narratives that have shaped our lives.

ReStory goes beyond traditional therapy approaches by integrating various perspectives, including narrative therapy, biblical insights, and psychodynamic principles. While narrative therapy focuses on personal stories and identity, ReStory takes it a step further by intertwining a biblical understanding of our design and purpose.

Through ReStory, we not only explore and understand our own narratives, but we also engage with the larger story of God's redemption and His invitation to participate in His restorative work. It is a process of finding alignment with our original design and allowing God to heal and renew us from the inside out.

In ReStory, kindness becomes a vital element in combatting the destructive second story. It is through practicing kindness towards ourselves and others that we begin to reclaim our true identity and push back against the lies and pain that have held us captive.

Traditional therapy often focuses on behavior change and mindset shifts, which are essential aspects of personal growth. However, ReStory goes deeper, reaching the core of our being, the place where stories are formed and beliefs take root. It is in this depth that true transformation occurs.

Imagine a journey from the emergency room to the operating room. The emergency room provides temporary relief, managing symptoms, and surface-level issues. But to address the core of our struggles, we must enter the operating room. In the operating room of ReStory, we confront the depths of our stories, uncovering the roots of depression, anxiety, and addiction. Only by addressing these depths can lasting change and healing take place.

ReStory is about more than just managing symptoms or changing behavior. It is a process of rediscovery and reconnection with our true selves. It invites us to live out of our first story, to reflect the image of God in all that we do, and to bring restoration to our lives and the world around us.

So, if you seek healing, transformation, and a deeper understanding of who you were designed to be, then embrace the journey of ReStory. Dive into the sacred landscape of your heart, explore the depths of your narratives, and allow God to rewrite your story with His love, grace, and redemption.
