In today’s episode of The Adventurous Author, we go deep into:
✔️ Why storytelling is a sacred tradition—woven into both Scripture and your brain’s design
✔️ How modern distraction dulls your storytelling gift, and how to sharpen it again
✔️ What science and 1 Timothy 4:14 say about your responsibility to develop your creative ability
✔️ How daily writing renews your mind and reclaims spiritual vision
✔️ A 30-minute writing expedition that places you in a cave of ancient stories—and dares you to write one of your own
🎯 Your Challenge:
Step into the storyteller’s cave. Discover a new parable waiting to be told. Write it. Share it. And vow to continue the work generations before you began.
