    The Gospel & Authentic Storytelling - Marcus Goodyear

    As humans, we are the stewards of story. The stories we tell apply meaning to our own lives and to the lives of those around us. Stories can move people to tears, to joy, and even towards change. So those with the privilege to communicate stories to an audience have a special responsibility. Storytelling, particularly telling other people's stories, requires great care and integrity. Today we're talking with someone whose job is telling stories. Our guest is Marcus Goodyear, Senior Director of Communications at the Howard E. Butt Foundation. He is also the Managing Editor of Echoes Magazine, a quarterly publication reaching 24,000 subscribers with encouraging stories about local friends and neighbors. He's here today to discuss his experience telling stories with kindness, authenticity, and a love for God and others. We'd like to thank the HE Butt Foundation for supporting this series.
