Everyone has a story. And until we learn to engage with our story, we will be doomed to repeat it. In a new season of A Story Worth Telling, we will take a look at our own stories and how to tell a new one.
In this week's episode, we sit down with our friends Terry Burleson and Marcus French from the Prodigal Sons Podcast to talk about their stories and how no matter how far from home you've gotten, it's never too far to turn around.

We've all heard it before - it can't be done. It's impossible. It's suicide. And maybe it is. Until it isn't any more. Join us as we retell a story of firsts, and about boldly going where none have gone before. Because it's only crazy until it isn't.

The 1940s. A man's world. And one woman who had enough of "standing still and looking stupid" and decided to think big anyways. This is the story of Hedy Lamarr, and it's a story for all those that have ever felt marginalized or made to feel less than, and still chose to do good anyways.

"Show me your friends and I'll show you your future." We've all heard it, but not all of us know just how true it is. That was definitely true in this week's story for Dr. Samuel Mudd. Join us as we talk about the power of the company we keep and how it can make or break our reputation.
All of us have something we want - the question is always how bad we want it and whether or not that outweighs the discomfort of getting there. But sometimes, all of us are forced to draw a line in the sand, and that is exactly the situation in this week's story.

The sinking of the Titanic has got to be one of the most told, most examined, and most known tragedies of all time.

If Jack has 99 apples and loses 1, which is smarter - to be happy with his 99 apples or to go chasing after the lost one?

Join us this week as we recall the story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, the only non-combatant to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
Whether it's the monsters under our bed or the ones in our head, all of us have feared something at one time or another. Join us for this week's story as we talk about fear, anxiety, and how to cope, so that hopefully our story can become a page in someone else's survival guide.
Those that don't study history are doomed to repeat it. So why does 2021 feel like something out of a history books?

Practice makes perfect. That's what our moms always used to say. And that seems to work when you're a kid. But how come adults never seem to get enough practice time, especially when it comes to being a spouse, a parent, an employee, or any of the other hats we wear. Let this story encourage you, and remind you that perfection is never the destination. As it turns out, the journey is all about making sure we just kept playing.
"You gotta know when to hold 'em...know when to fold 'em..." At least that's how the song goes. So why are we so quick to fold at the first sign of trouble?
