I think especially something about the dinner and doing this around food is very powerful. It's I think we were made to share deeply of ourselves when we are sharing food with one another, when we are breaking bread. Jesus gave himself to his disciples in this intimate way in the Last Supper by breaking bread together. There's just something about that process. And it's what makes me most sad when I'm at restaurants and I see families, friends or couples sitting at a dinner table and they're all on their phones,.
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.”
