Life As An Epic Journey

Life is an epic journey. Full of tragedy and triumph. Hope and despair. Love and loss. We are each living our very own odyssey, a grand adventure. What makes life so exciting? How do stories work and how do we make the best of our story? In this season of The Yellow Balloons Podcast, we tackle these questions. From Job’s faith to the adoration of the psalms, The Bible has a lot to say about the epic journey of life. We invite you to join us as we consider what makes a story great, how to participate in great stories, and what it means to steward our odyssey as best we can.
