{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Daily Directional","slug":"storytellersdailydirectional","podcastDescription":"

We are Storytellers and we believe in God’s Story, as told through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. We also believe our lives are a story that matters. When we begin to see the very real places where God’s story and our stories intersect, we unlock wonder, worship, and a hope that communicates truly Good News. Join Pastor Bethany for daily messages designed to keep us pointed in the right direction. This Daily Directional is a part of the Storytellers Collective. Find us online at www.storytellerscollective.org or join our community at www.wearestorytellers.org.

Jump into James 1:1-18 with us as we consider the biblical definition of perfection.

Christian discipleship is perhaps best defined as \"apprenticeship to Jesus.\" We desire to look to Jesus as our leader, guide, mentor, and teacher. We want the storyline of each and every day to be shaped by knowing Jesus. Today, we do that by leaning into the relationship between perfection and maturity.
