Episode Synopsis

Season Two is finally here!!!
In this episode of the podcast, the hosts explore Chapter 1 of Unreadable, focusing on how urban learners are moving away from traditional reading toward orality—a natural, story-based way of learning. Don Barger and Grant Lovejoy bring unique insights, blending field experience and academic research. Their findings reveal a significant shift in how people consume information, favoring connection, storytelling, and online platforms.

The discussion highlights how these trends impact faith communication. Through anecdotes, such as a PhD student’s preference for auditory learning and a woman discovering faith through online forums, the episode underscores the power of storytelling, understanding the audience, and authenticity.

Listeners are challenged to adapt their methods of engagement, embracing humility and creativity to connect with a world increasingly oriented toward orality. The episode ends with an optimistic call to view these changes as avenues for transformative communication.

This season, we introduce two new guest hosts! We hope you enjoy the second season of That Reminds Me of a Story!
