For those listeners who are interested in that practice of reading, actually what you've written in the past, there's a journaling app called Penzu. At random intervals, it will send you an email that says, 10 years ago, you wrote this, well, five years ago,. And I have had some very profound realizations when I have gotten those emails and realize, oh my gosh, I was thinking about this five years ago. You know, when you look at your own story, you're telling the story of God and how he orchestrates your life. It's very beautiful and it's very sacred.
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.”
