Can “Vulnerable” Be a Way of Life?

At this year’s Storyline Conference, we’ve brought in speakers who tell the truth. You know how it is. So many speakers make us feel like our lives are “less than” rather than works in progress.

But what does life really look like for the average person? It turns out we all have more in common than you’d think. But we only realize it when we tell each other the truth.

We are honored to have Glennon Melton keynote for us at the Chicago Storyline conference. Glennon started a blog called Momastery that has grown to reach millions.

She’s a wife, mom, recovering addict, and truth teller.

She’s the woman you’ve always wanted as your best friend, mainly because she’s willing to tell you who she really is which gives you the feeling you can tell her who you really are in return.

The least meaningful life any of us could live is one in which we play a dishonest role.

It’s true actors tell stories, but the sad thing is they tell somebody else’s story. They tell the story their parents wanted them to tell. They tell the story religious legalism wanted them to tell. They tell the story their spouse wanted them to tell. They tell every story except the story that is truly theirs. And the only story that captures their genius is the one that’s true.

We believe you’ll be inspired by Glennon’s incredible courage to tell the truth and to trust the world can deal with the impact of who she really is.

Storyline aims to be a Christian conference like no other.

We believe in a life of meaning. And we believe in telling the truth, not just the philosophical or theological truth, but the truth about who we really are. We think you are a work of art and all your insecurities are just a bunch of stuff covering up who you really are.

Here’s a great clip from Glennon speaking at a TED conference. We’ve asked her to expound upon her message of brutal, raw honesty. And we’ve asked her to help us find the courage to be ourselves.
