Themes in Life Story
![Page 19: SF102 Community](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56812c5b550346895d90e61e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Identify Themes in Your Story
• A theme is a recurring idea in your story
• A theme is a descriptive “meaning statement” that weaves together the elements of your story.
• A theme places the elements of your story in a meaningful perspective.
• A theme answers the question: “What is this story about?”
![Page 20: SF102 Community](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56812c5b550346895d90e61e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These sheets are not to be
neat and organized; it’s brainstorming!
![Page 21: SF102 Community](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56812c5b550346895d90e61e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
These are the twocomponents of the story
that will be told in this chapter.

These two are reflectionsupon the formative
stories above and theywill help you identifythemes in the next step.

together, these groupingsended up being, for
all intensive purposesbeing my themes.

The Difference between Theme and Metaphor
• A theme answers the question: “What is this story about?”
• A metaphor is a vehicle that carries the theme and helps explain it.

Principles of Encouragement
Encouragement, Larry Crabb
“The essence of encouragement is exposure without rejection”; the need to communicate, before anything else, acceptance.
![Page 45: SF102 Community](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56812c5b550346895d90e61e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
“Understanding is sometimes better than advice;” after someone shares something deeply painful or personal is not the time to offer advice.

“The more precise the understanding, the more encouraging the words;” our level of listening directly limits the level to which we can encourage.
