Born To Create

As a writer, one of the most valuable skills you can learn is storytelling. Stories are the way we process information and make sense of the world around us.  I’m thrilled to be talking with Doug Phillips, who is the Professor of New Testament and Greek Studies, and the Chair of the Biblical Education Division at St. Louis Christian College, where I am also a Professor. Doug has multiple advanced degrees and is also working on a PhD in New Testament from Asbury Theological Seminary. On this episode, we’re going to do a deep dive into the topic of storytelling in the Bible. Doug shares his journey to becoming a professor and helps us understand why Jesus’ parables were so powerful.  You’ll learn what makes an effective story, the key components of Jesus’ parables, and how to start applying those lessons to your own communication.
