We love good stories—and great stories are even better when they're true. Real stories, true stories don't just pass on facts, they inspire us. Recently, Dave and I sat down with our friend Catherine Parks to talk about how biographies help us see God at work, movies, and reading well. Listen in as we discuss:

• People that surprised Catherine as she worked on Empowered and Strong

How to fight against bias when writing biographies

What biographies can teach kids

How Catherine's family has embraced the Jack Reacher Sucker Punch of the Week

Why Dave just needs to own being #40Dave

Just how old is Catherine's husband, anyway?
