Every time we retell stories of God’s faithfulness in the past, whether around a candlelit seder table or under a bright, red-and-white-striped revival tent, we are reminded that if God can make a way for Moses and the Hebrew slaves, for Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, for the grandma living on Social Security, for the alcoholic marking twenty years sober, and for the strung-out pregnant lady mumbling incoherently about rutabagas, then maybe God can make a way for me too. Storytelling always has been, and always will be, one of humanity’s greatest tools for survival.
