Down to Earth Podcast

In our pilot episode, we discuss how conversation can change the trajectory of people’s lives. When we allow deep conversation to happen, it enables us to get a vision of what our lives could be. Storytelling is of particular importance in conversation. We’ve got a story in the church like nobody’s business. Stories make our points memorable and make us relatable. Our longing is for deep discipleship in the western church and we think story is the key to achieving it. We’ve all heard “12 people turned the world upside down” but the question now is, “How come the world is not being turned upside down today?” We think there is more we as Christians can push towards—deeper discipleship; God’s people actually affecting change in the world.

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.
