I have been in Chicago for the past few days, visiting some friends and enjoying the city. One of my favorite things about traveling is that I can listen to a bunch of podcasts for which I don’t normally have time.

On the drive here I got caught up on the Mars Hill Bible Church podcast (Rob Bell’s church). The latest episode is a guest appearance by Donald Miller called “Story” (see below for download links). Miller speaks about God’s ability as a storyteller and how our lives are essentially lived stories. He breaks down the components of stories and analyzes what differentiates good stories from bad stories. I was totally engaged during the whole presentation; it was awesome.

From what I understand, Miller’s message is a distillation of his forthcoming book Story: Why Some Lives Make Sense and Others Don’t which is currently slated for release in May 2008. Sounds like it will be another great book. You can listen to his message by clicking either of the links below:

If you choose to listen to the podcast, or have heard Miller speak on “Story” already, what are your thoughts? What resonated with you and/or what did you disagree with?

Jake, thanks for the link to the podcast. i look forward to hearing it. I have heard DM in the past and read his Blue Like Jazz book. I appreciate his perspective on the postmodern horizon…his take on our faith is refreshing.
