And I'm watching it, and of course it speaks to me because I love the gospels and I've been a believer as long as I can remember, and I've been tasked and stewarded with—again, fast forward for a second— with portraying the gospel story to the world through the medium of television in this way that has seemingly transcended cultures and boundaries.

And so I'm interested in it from that perspective, but I listen to some of you talk and I go, yeah, that's fascinating, but my job and my calling and my interest and my skill set is to tell it as a story. And because I'm a storyteller, I'm attracted to the emotional as much or more than the intellectual.

And so I've known these stories all my life, but ever since I was a kid, when I was a little kid, I would hear Sunday school stories, and I'm going, what would it have been like to sit around with Jesus at a campfire? What was it like to be a sibling of Jesus and to argue with him and then his parents come involved and they always side with Jesus because he's never wrong?

What would it have been like to go to school with the perfect son of God? I was always intrigued by those and the reaction you just had where you chuckled. I'm like, that was me. And I would say that. I'd go, can you imagine what it would have been like to be Jesus' brother? Yeah. And to go, Mom, Jesus did this again. And his mom says, well, you need to make the adjustment.

He's like, you're always on—Jesus can do no wrong. He's the perfect child. Mom's like, well, yes, he is actually. That's very funny. So those kinds of things, I was eight years old and was wrestling with that, right?

And so I'm a storyteller in the classroom. I was a storyteller when I wasn't supposed to be. I've always been a storyteller. So when a pastor is unpacking three to four verses with an intellectual conclusion, the part that speaks most to me is the story part of it. What might have been the backstory? I'm like, well, I'm on the case.
