What "So Many Voices" is All About


In this life, we are inundated by voices.  They tell us who to be, how to live, what to look like, what we need, what we deserve, why things are happening, and what is real.  It can be incredibly challenging to hear truth through the noise.

The "So Many Voices" project is a journey.

We move from place to place.   Sometimes we can only hear ourselves and other times
So Many Voices are shouting so loudly that we can't hear much of anything.  We hit rock-bottom.  We get overwhelmed and nothing around us makes sense. We aren't even sure of our own identity, and we just can't seem to make anything work.  From that valley, we start to learn how to separate the voices around us and choose which ones to listen to and when to listen to them.  The most crucial moment is when we discover which voice is the One that will always speak truth to us, the One we can trust.  When we listen to that Voice, we find that the challenges in life are producing something more than the moment might reveal.  We learn how to move through them, and  that there is a bigger picture than what we can see with our eyes.  We learn that we each have a purpose.

I don't know about you, but I want that Voice to be the loudest One in my head, the One I can hear and trust and believe.  The Voice I need.  The Voice that I really listen to.  The Voice that knows me and loves me better than anybody else.  The Voice that makes me 
alive.
