02514 – We Grow by Hearing Stories
Gushee, David P. & Holtz, Colin

We grow not by memorizing principles but by hearing stories. We imagine ourselves in circumstances and ask how we would respond. We examine stories that have been handed down to us, such as those in the Bible, and ask how those stories play out in our lives.
