Two Lenses, One Story

Two Lenses, One Story

Same circumstances. Completely different meaning. In this episode Laurie uses her own story — the teaching job she didn't get, the years of burnout and unanswered prayer, the horses that didn't work out — and walks through each one twice: first through the lens of a foe worldview, then through the lens of a friendly world. She also shares the deeper faith layer that underlies how she chooses to see the world.
