Curtis Johnson: How do we mine our lives for depth and meaning rather than simply be channeled into the superficial scene sharing that actually, at the end of the day, is not a story. "When you think about your story soberly, you're really thinking about God," he says. 'And maturing is really beautiful because you can only tell the story of your life by looking backwards'
Curtis and Nancy French explore the power of storytelling in everyday life. Nancy, a professional storyteller and New York Times best-selling author, urges listeners to “read” the stories of their own lives – in order to see how the ultimate Author of their stories (God) has shaped their destinies. Curtis and Nancy also encourage people to inhabit other peoples’ stories and to interview family members, such as parents, to more clearly see the context of their “origin stories.”
