## Resource

Is telling a better story more effective than winning an argument? Join Kasey Olander on this episode of The Table Podcast as she sits down with authors Daniel and Mike Blackaby to explore how Christians can better engage today’s culture through the heart. They discuss the power of storytelling, art, and authentic community in sharing the gospel with a generation that is increasingly emotionally driven. Discover why emphasizing the beauty and goodness of God’s narrative is an essential complement to traditional apologetics when communicating biblical truths.
