Anchoring Families with Stories | Sam Payne

About this episode

Lisa and Sam Payne discuss the importance of storytelling in shaping family culture and relationships.

What if the most powerful thing you could give someone isn’t advice or money, but a story? Lisa sits down with Sam Payne, host of The Apple Seed—a story telling podcast on BYU Radio—to explore why storytelling shapes our family culture, strengthens relationships, and helps us understand who we are. Together, they reflect on the healing power of telling stories about those we’ve loved and lost, and why storytelling belongs to all of us.
