    I heard a great anthropological nugget recently, that “Human beings are story-shaped creatures;” amplifying the profound notion that the Holy One chose story as the principal means to convey Himself and the deepest veins of reality. As such, story-tellers as image-bearers par excellance!! Whoa to any of us who underreckon the potency of the story. Jesus the parable sower knew this well! Nicely done Bryce, and what a great analogy of fixating on a pointing finger and missing what’s pointed at…shades of Plato’s Cave methinks.

    I’ve been loving these video essays, Bryce, and, as a father-to-be who’s meditating on how story can help me lead my family, this one especially hit home.

      Congrats! If you're a father to be, then you're already a father. Life is about to get exciting.

    Very well said. I'm definitely going to quote you to my Comp. & Lit students as we begin our story writing process. Thanks!
