In Episode 62 (Part 1), Dick Foth returns after several weeks away and welcomes his son-in-law, Van Clements, joining from Eugene, Oregon. This conversation introduces a two-part series centered on the power of story — why stories shape us, reach us, and form the thread of human connection.
Dick and Van explore how storytelling uniquely impacts the heart, why every civilization depends on stories, and how Jesus Himself often taught through stories. They reflect on Dick’s lifelong experience as a storyteller, the difference between how he speaks and writes, and the way stories “paint pictures” in people’s hearts.
They also discuss the origins of Dick’s first audiobook, Stories I Love to Tell, how the idea came from family conversations, and the experiment that led to recording a live evening of storytelling at Capitol Turnaround in Washington, D.C. The episode revisits that night — the warmth, the laughter, the multigenerational audience — and the simple power of stories to spark connection and faith.
This episode sets the stage for what’s coming in Part 2 and introduces the next volume of Dick’s storytelling audiobook series.
