Stories are all around us—but many of us believe they’re are just for kids. Today we’re discussing the importance of story from a Christian perspective.

People have limited attention spans and story helps focus our mind. We relate to story, we remember story, and we understand God through story.

By listening to a story, and depending on how we embody it, we can reflect on what God is doing; story helps us notice what God’s doing in the world around us. In our quest for deeper discipleship we need to examine how we interact with the stories around us.
