Welcome!
On my new podcast, “Live Like It’s True”! my hope is for us to treasure up the true stories of the Bible, then live like the stories are true.
Join me for season one, as my guests and I discuss our a favorite True Story of Jesus each week, then invite you to Live Like It’s True!
I’m so glad you’re here.
Know the Story
Share the Story
God could have revealed himself in texbook fashion, with lists of his attributes and facts. Instead, he gave us a thick book with lots of stories. Each one is like a velvet pouch, which bundles up certain gems of God’s character for safekeeping. And the stories become more deeply ingrained in our hearts when we rehearse and share them with others.
On Live Like It’s True, we’ll be talking about how to approach the stories of the Bible, and how to give them away!
Live the Story
It’s one thing to know the story; it’s another thing to live like the story is true. This podcast is meant to help shrink the gap between what you say you believe and how you live.
What difference does it make to know that Jesus first told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven? What does it mean that Jesus had the longest recorded theological conversation with—not only a woman, but an outcast? Join me for season one, and let’s talk about how to live like these stories are true!
