Irritation or Intrigue: You Choose (Part 2 on Story)

This week, Dan and his wife, Becky Allender, think back to the
way in which one of their brief interactions led not only to
confusion but to a deeper sense of irritation toward each other’s
stories. As they recognized and named their everyday stories,
those that too often get overlooked, they were able to move past
avoidance and gain understanding and empathy. The episode ends
with this encouragement and challenge: we all have a choice to
make in each of our relationships—to approach another’s story
with a sense of irritation or with genuine intrigue. What we
choose will dictate the way in which our lives intersect with
others.
