Branden, Mike, Peter, and Grant pick up our "Science of Storytelling" series with a discussion of episodic storytelling structure and pacing! Branden walks us through the structure and guides the discussion; and as usual, we come up with examples along the way. See the full show notes for Branden's suggested outline.

Scripture: Genesis 1:14-18, Matthew 28:19-20
