Changing Directions: Stories are powerful. They can be full of possibilities and hope. Stories can be destructive, too, like those negative or shameful stories you or others tell about your life. So, what happens when a destructive story encounters a story of gratitude? What future can gratitude write into your life?The outline from the Sunday Paper and other resources, including the GroupLife discussion guide, can be found at www.jacobs-well.net/leftovers

Changing Commitments: Whether you know the Bible well or not you probably know the story of the ten lepers Jesus heals, and only one came back to thank him. What you might not have noticed is that the other nine are the ones who did what Jesus told them to do. Hmm… was this really a healing? Or was it a test? Or was it just telling us something bigger about life than either of those options? Let’s check out that third option and see what happens when the need to give thanks to the source of your life takes over.The outline from the Sunday Paper and other resources, including the GroupLife discussion guide, can be found at www.jacobs-well.net/leftovers LINK *Note: Because of an audio glitch, this is not the audio from Sunday, but it gave us an opportunity to test out a different podcast approach we've been hoping to.  Let us know what you think!
