]]> Episode 46: Hurricane Harvey & the power of stories w/guest Eric Sammons https://fortecatholic.fireside.fm/46 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/340098994 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 23:00:00 -0500 Taylor Schroll full Taylor Schroll We discuss the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the power of stories to lift us up & Eric Sammons discusses his new book "The Profession." 52:34 no This episode aired just days after Hurricane Harvey devastated the coastline of Texas. Our prayers are with our friends, family and neighbors who have been affected by this tragedy. In the first segment, we talk about the aftermath of the hurricane: the stories of people hurting, the community rising together to help and try to make some kind of sense out of this tragedy and what can help us get through it. We look at two stories from Scripture that share about suffering to guide our conversation. In the second segment, I am joined by author Eric Sammons about his new book "The Profession." It is a work of fiction that tells the story of an American Catholic in 2049 living in a Muslim run country. We talk about the power of telling stories to spark ideas, conversation and conversion. In the final segment, we talk about the power of stories to lift us up, inspire us, help us relax and take us to new worlds. In the wake of the hurricane, I was reminded of the impact that good story telling can have to relax and help decompress us after a stressful time. Taylor and new producer Sam share funny stories about faith to help bring levity and joy to a tough situation. Again, if you've been affected by the storm, know that we are praying for you and your loved ones.
