Finding the Way Home, Part 1: What Story Is Shaping Your Life? | PAUL CROUTHAMEL

We all love stories. But whether we realize it or not, we're not just watching them—we're living inside one. Every decision we make, every value we hold, and every direction our life takes is shaped by the story we believe we're in. The problem is, we don't always stop to ask if it's the right story. In this opening message of Finding the Way Home, Pastor Paul invites us to step back and examine the story shaping our lives—and to consider what happens when the story we believe is quietly leading us somewhere we were never meant to go. This message introduces a recurring pattern found throughout the Bible—often called the "Exodus way"—that helps us make sense of Scripture, our faith, and our everyday lives. More than a historical event, it's a framework that reveals how God rescues, forms, dwells with, and sends people into the world. Whether you're exploring faith, rethinking your assumptions, or longing for a deeper sense of meaning and direction, this message invites you to locate yourself within a bigger story—and begin finding your way home.
