ADVENTURE: Stories

"My adventure is finding stories, telling stories, writing stories." --Jo Kadlecek, senior communications writer/communication arts professor

Stories are more than what's presented in a news segment on TV or what you read in a novel. We are each continuously writing our own story, playing our parts in the stories of others, and contributing to the great Story of God's work in the world. Stories are so integral to the way we think and feel that they have the ability to lift our minds out of our everyday routines and make us see things in a new way. That's Jo's adventure: to find and tell the stories that illuminate Gordon's place in the world. Read the stories that make Gordon tick
