You are listening to the place we find ourselves podcast.

I'm Adam Young and we have the privilege today

of being joined by Dr. Dan Allender.

Dan, welcome to the podcast.

Adam, what a delight to be with you.

I suppose that I should begin by saying to the listeners

that like you are the man behind the podcast in many ways.

You know, no Dan Allender, no podcast.

You're teaching over the years

is not only the foundation of the solo episodes that I've done,

but I'm pretty sure that every person who has come on the podcast

and shared a story, read a story,

has been influenced by you in some way,

if not had that very story engaged by you.

And so truly, I want to begin by saying thank you for your work.

I'm honored.

I'm honored.

To engage story as you know only too well,

you're in the lively heart of God.

So what fun.

So let's talk about story for a bit.

For you personally, Dan, two questions.
