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!
The StoryMen welcome author and podcaster Matt Mikalatos to the show to discuss his new book "The First Time We Saw Him". Matt reimagines Jesus' life and parables by setting them in a contemporary context. Matt shares a couple of his favorites, we explore what exactly a parable is and why they remain so powerful 2,000 years later.
