So Long Normal: Laura Story
As frustrating as it may seem, life never goes according to plan. Almost nothing is normal.
Today, Laura Story joins Jonathan on Candid to discuss her new book, So Long, Normal: Living and Loving the Free Fall of Faith.
Laura is a wife, mother, songwriter, worship leader, author, artist, and Bible teacher. Her songs—which have won Grammys, Billboard Music Awards, and Dove Awards—include “Blessings” and Chris Tomlin’s “Indescribable.” She is the bestselling author of two books and Bible studies, When God Doesn’t Fix It and I Give Up. She has a Master of Theological Studies and a Doctorate in Worship Studies, and has served as a worship leader at Perimeter Church in Atlanta since 2005.
In this encouraging episode, Laura shares personal stories of struggling to fit into a "normal mold" only to realize that God is writing a greater story for her.
Join Jonathan and Laura as they peel back the layers of normal to reveal the beauty of a Creator who is writing a greater story for each of us – one that far surpasses normal.
