{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Daily Directional","slug":"storytellersdailydirectional","podcastDescription":"

We are Storytellers and we believe in God’s Story, as told through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. We also believe our lives are a story that matters. When we begin to see the very real places where God’s story and our stories intersect, we unlock wonder, worship, and a hope that communicates truly Good News. Join Pastor Bethany for daily messages designed to keep us pointed in the right direction. This Daily Directional is a part of the Storytellers Collective. Find us online at www.storytellerscollective.org or join our community at www.wearestorytellers.org.
