Moth storyteller Krista Tippett once asked Nadia Bolz-Weber, a trailblazing Lutheran minister (who is also a Moth storyteller), how she knows a personal anecdote or story is ready to go into one of her sermons. Nadia answered that she always tries to “preach from her scars and not her wounds.” The first time we heard it was a eureka moment for us, and the phrase has become part of our vernacular because the same is true in storytelling.
