Story Men - November 28, 2014

The Thanksgiving Episode

The Thanksgiving Episode

The StoryMen take some time to reflect on what they're grateful for. The conversation turns to Thanksgiving traditions - real and made up. Then, since we're talking about founding myths, we investigate recent admissions by the Mormon church that Joseph Smith was in fact a polygamist. Finally, we engage the conversation about the "Stand and Greet" time many churches employ, but many people hate. Plus, we introduce our Pop Culture Picks of the Week!

What role can the Church play in working for restorative justice?

By JR. Forasteros

JR. lives in Dallas, TX with his wife Amanda. In addition to exploring the wonders that are the Lone Star state, JR. is the teaching pastor at Catalyst Community Church, a writer and blogger. His book, Empathy for the Devil, is available from InterVarsity Press. He's haunted by the Batman, who is in turn haunted by the myth of redemptive violence.
