      • Ep. 16 | How the Gospel Is Hidden In Your Story

        Welcome back to the Attractively Different Podcast.  I'm excited for this episode, and I hope you are as well. Last episode we talked about how our brain is drawn to story, and all the great stories follow a similar structure.

        To me these were clues in how God designed us, and I started to look for an insight - and what I found is that God uses this framework to bring us through our own transformation. Our brain is attracted to it because it's part of God's design.

        Today I'm going to walk you through that story framework, show you how it works, and reveal to you how it shows up in the Bible. We'll finish the episode talking about how it applies to your life and your purpose.

        Key Takeaways:

        • The Specifics of the story tory framework that captivate the brain
        • How Jaws, Beauty and the Beast, and Star Wars are all the same story
        • Proof that this framework shows up in the Bible
        • The brain is attracted to this framework because it reveals the gospel

                      • Ep. 11 | Do This If You're "Playing It Safe"

                        How do you respond to challenges? In this episode we discuss how challenges and competition can actually create an environment for unprecedented growth. Atrophic cascade is an ecological process which starts at the top of the food chain and tumbles all the way down to the bottom. Yellowstone National park started to experience a trophic cascade in the mid 1990s when wolves were reintroduced to the area.

                        In this episode we talk about what we can learn from the trophic cascade that took place at Yellowstone and how it can apply to your life. A predator was reintroduced to the area and actually brought new life to the park that was more vibrant, healthier, and more diverse. We can experience the same in our lives if we embrace our challenges with the mindset that they make our lives more vibrant, healthier, and more diverse.

                        Key Takeaways:

                        • Why wolves being reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park helped the park thrive
                        • Potential outcomes of allowing our challenges to make us better
                        • Choosing not to play it safe in life
