We'd love for you to join us! The invitation link will go out to everyone in our Friends Group (email) so be sure to join at GGSSPodcast.com Episode 50 if you haven't already.

WHY GOD STORIES?

Why is it important to tell God stories? There are so many reasons but Jesus explained it best when He was asked about using so many parables. He said, "I tell stories, to create readiness, to nudge people toward receptive insight." (That's taken from Matthew 13 Message version). I've experienced God's amazing work in my life through Jesus Christ and I'm passionate about others experiencing this joy and peace as well! ~Mark
