Bob Wheatley is the author of Our Hearts’ Desire. As fans and students of stories, themes, and motifs, Courtney and Bob dive into a conversation about how the stories we consume reflect the ultimate story we are a part of, The Gospel. In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Bob’s testimony of chasing a professional baseball career and living a “check the box” Christian life until everything changed.
- How to pursue an authentic and real life with the Lord
- What does true surrender in our faith look like
- How the story of the Gospel is weaved through so many of our favorite stories
- Why the hero, villain, love interest in stories tug our heart so much
- How we see ourselves through God, the true lover of our soul
- We are the love interest in the story and how we interact with the hero
- What should we put our everlasting hope in
Go deeper and ask yourself what you really want. What do you yearn or long for?
Go enjoy a story and pay attention to what’s going on in the story.
