In this episode, I got to talk with Daniel Taylor. Daniel Taylor (Ph.D., Emory University) is the author of eighteen books, including The Myth of Certainty, Letters to My Children, Tell Me A Story: The Life-Shaping Power of Our Stories, Creating a Spiritual Legacy, The Skeptical Believer: Telling Stories to Your Inner Atheist and four novels, Death Comes for the Decontructionist, Do We Not Bleed?, Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees, and The Mystery of Iniquity . He has also worked on a number of Bible translations. He speaks frequently at conferences, colleges, retreats, and churches on a variety of topics. Dr. Taylor is also co-founder of The Legacy Center, an organization devoted to helping individuals and organizations identify and preserve the values and stories that have shaped their lives. He was a contributing editor for Books and Culture. Dr. Taylor is married and the father of four adult children.

We discussed in this episode the biological reality of story, how stories make up the entire framework of human thinking, the end of western civilization, and how to live a life of True value and meaning through Christ. I hope you enjoy!
