So, turn up and tune in on this first episode of, "I Love My City."

On this episode of the podcast they guys are talking about storytellers in the church. There is a theory that suggests that human beings are natural storytellers and that a good story is more convincing than a good argument. Jesus was the perfect example of someone who put narrative at the forefront of His ministry. He often told parables and stories as a way for people to understand the Father’s heart more for His children. Even in the midst of being challenged by those who didn’t agree with Him, Jesus was ready with a story rooted in love to help unify people. Today the church is still a collection of storytellers but have we gotten off the beaten path of what our narrative is supposed to be. So turn up and tune as we talk about Narrative Paradigms in the church, right here on the mountain podcast.
