The Second Order Story of life are the stories we choose to live into from today into our future. It is the story that honestly reveals our faith. Our faith will say who we "really" are to the world and to ourselves. So the excuses we use so often such as, "I don't know why I do that, because that's not really who I am" makes no sense when we do those things! Our sin nature should not be what reveals us, but rather the story we choose to live into that God has designed for us!
