Doable Discipleship

Description: Saddleback Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Bayside Church Teaching Pastor/Rapper Brannon Shortt. Storytelling is one of the oldest and most-used forms of communication in human history. We use stories to teach lessons to little kids (think Aesop’s fables or fairy tales) and we continue to learn from stories as adults (think of the great works of literature, film, music). Another place we often hear stories is during church. We don’t just hear or read the stories from the Bible, but preachers often incorporate stories into their sermons as a way to highlight a point or provide context for what they are teaching. Today’s guest, Brannon Shortt, is a preacher, rapper, and candlemaker. Brannon was a pastor at Saddleback Church before moving to Northern California where he now serves as a Teaching Pastor at Bayside Church and recently released a new album titled The Attic under his musical artist name, BShortt. In this conversation, Brannon and Jason talk about the power of story
