We all have to pick a story to help us make sense of our world. The story we choose to trust frames our day-to-day realities. Erwin McManus, an insightful pastor in California, says that in our competitive, media-packed, modern culture, “the best story shapes the culture." He goes on to say that often the Truth is lost in lousy storytelling and falsehood is spread through a well-told story. I think this has been true for humanity ever since the earliest story times around warm, intimate fires.We all live a life of faith. And consequently, we all live our lives trusting in one story or another. Furthermore, as we trust these various stories, transmitted from generation to generation, creatively invented or adapted, unconsciously consumed or intentionally adopted, we often forget these tales are human attempts to explain the inexplicable and to comprehend the incomprehensible. More importantly, we often forget (or deny) that these stories are theories. They are our best attempts to get it right. We all want to know what is really going on in the universe, and our stories—our worldviews—are the distilled essence of our collective efforts to describe what is Really Real, what is Truly True, what is worthy of trust.
