Curtis: The story of the woman who touched Jesus' robe is relevant to storytelling. He says she had been abused institutionally by the Jewish medical system. She said, now before him and gave him the whole story, gave him the entire story. Curtis: What we are called to do is to make room for those who have been abused so that they can give us their stories.
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.”
