More things i’m learning in counseling others…

My two new favorite questions in counseling: what is the central truth you think your life emphasizes? What does your life teach? (Try to be specific, not general) That’s probably the part of God you know and reflect, or have already incarnated. It’s also a key hole into true identity! Who we are comes before what we do: identity precedes calling, as they say!

“I knit you, therefore I called you to do…” to walk on that path prepared beforehand (Eph 2:10)

Then, how are you planting that teaching, the seed you truly are?
What’s your context or flower pot? Where’s the good soil for your particular seeds?

Been enjoying starting conversations with friends like that recently.
Another one I like: if it was just you and God on earth-no roles, no people to please or be defined by—who would you be? Essentializing identity interest me! Who are you outside all your seasonal roles in life!

I’ve enjoyed hearing people’s answers to these two questions recently!
