   Imagination Alert

   Why are we so starved for better stories? Can we do anything but just sit by and watch generations lose legends and heroes? Dominic de Souza (https://substack.com/profile/23848538-dominic-de-souza) of LegendFiction (https://open.substack.com/pub/legendfiction) shares fantastic insights from his perspective as a leader in the Catholic and Orthodox storytellers’ community. You’re invited into a conversation relevant for all Catholic communicators about: * Why is the imagination so important to how God created us? * How might a person or society’s familiarity with storytelling relate to unhealthy interpretations of Christianity? * How can we tell & enjoy stories while retaining our values? * Where does our storytelling crisis stem from, and how can we recover our cultural imagination? * A new, online convention for Catholic & Orthodox fans of fiction storytelling Connect with Dominic, learn more about LegendFiction… and sign up for LegendHaven — hope to see you there! — at https://legendhaven.com (https://legendhaven.com/). Read about a Catholic Servant of God who used dragons in his work at my other project, The Inspired Life: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:8-9 What’s Next… Did this episode inspire you?

   The Key to It All?

   Which lost art can actually change society today? Have we been neglecting the missing piece all along? Philip Couture, Director of Formation for Christ In the City (CiC), shares experience and wisdom gained from his years of serving people’s needs — from the Andes Mountains to the streets of Denver. You’re invited into a conversation spanning these questions and more, including: * What is the deepest weakness of our society, and how do we address it? * Why does the Catholic Church have a “preferential option for the poor” when God doesn’t play favorites? What does it mean? How does it affect “everyone else”? * How do we practically accompany people, even when it’s especially challenging? You’ll also hear from three other folks. Thank you to Christ In the City for generously allowing us to clip interviews with friends from the street, and thank you to Ron, Jessica, and Chuck for sharing their stories. Hear their full interviews and learn more about CiC’s ministry at https://christinthecity.org (https://christinthecity.org) or their podcast, “Homeless but Human.” What’s Next… * Did this episode inspire you?
