"Do you tell stories?"

The most common question I get from emails and as I do speaking engagements is: "How do you come up with all of those stories?" And that’s a great question. I write and record about 260 stories a year.

I guess there are two short answers: One is I listen to my life and just share what happens. And the second, based on the first, is I don’t do anything—writing stories, or anything else—in life alone. I ask God to be with me everywhere I go in everything I do.

I’ve noticed that sharing stories as I listen to life sets off a chain reaction of story-telling about what God does in other people’s lives. Folks share their stories with me on my blog at drjoey.blogspot.com and through our website at listentolife.org. Then I get to share their stories with others around the world.

Ask God to go with you everywhere you go. Then express yourself about what God shows you. Tell your stories to anybody who will listen. And that’s one way you can listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
