"The single best way of conceiving of faith is through a story of which you are the main character." - Daniel Taylor
This is the best way because:
- God created us as story-creatures
- Stories make connections
- Propositions (hypotheses) are the "shorthand" for the stories
- Stories create communities
- We are created for stories
- our brains store stories best
- made to be in a relationship - best way to communicate is through story
- Each of us needs a "master story"
- Stories are about choices and their consequences
- Stories call us to action
- Stories have the power to change us
- Stories are strong and complex enough to contain pain, failure, and mystery
- Stories are the foundation for meaning and significance
