What Story are You Living?

"I can not answer the question, 'What ought I to do?' unless I first answer the question, 'Of which story am I a part?'"

Alasdair MacIntyre 
After Virtue


Even a moral version of the American Dream Story makes a virtue of hoarding (as responsible planning), a virtue of war (protecting national interests), and a virtue of isolation (I take care of mine, you take care of yours). 

The story I find myself in dictates the virtues that I develop.

What sort of virtues does Jesus's picture of the Kingdom of God inspire?
