Every fall semester I play Sara Groves’s “Maybe There’s a Loving God” for my students.  I’m not sure if it’s a meaningful moment for them, but it is for me.  Something about Groves’s music hits a certain spot of the heart in a certain way for me, and I’m glad for the reminders her music brings.

One of my favorites is the song “Why It Matters.”  I love her insistence on telling the story, having the story told, knowing that anyone who speaks of Jesus and the Bible is more than a storyteller, is a narrator.  And while the distinction may be a fine one, it is also an important one.  I pray we’ll all tell the story well today.
