I’m sitting and listening to Mark tell the story of how his perspective about how we gather in the Church has changed over the past 15 years. Last night, I listened to Michael talk about his journey of discovering the power of story and dialogue in helping students learn and connect with God.

I’ve heard both stories many, many times. I know these stories well.

And as I listened, I was riveted. It’s as if I’ve never heard either story.

I’m amazed not only at what great storytellers these guys are, but also by the power of story itself.

There’s a reason some people will see a movie 5-6 times in a theater even after reading the book it’s based on.

Because great stories-even the oldest ones-still seem new each time.
