About this episode

In this episode, Emily Downs explores the narrative of life as an epic story guided by the Bible.

We were all born into an epic story. The narrative started long before we showed up on the scene. Most of us spend part of our life trying to figure out what happened and where we are at in the story right now. Thankfully, God gave us a guide book. The Bible tells us where we came from and where we are going. Are you looking at a map trying to figure out where you are in this timeline? Join me in this episode as we look at The Greatest Story Ever Told, one in which we ourselves have been given a role. Books mentioned in this episode: Epic by John Eldredge Tea Time Discipleship by Sally Clarkson
