"We need to ask not whether it is realistic or practical or viable but whether it is imaginable. We need to ask if our consciousness and imagination have been so assaulted and co-opted by the royal consciousness that we have been robbed of the courage or power to think an alternative thought...It is the vocation of the prophet to keep alive the ministry of imagination, to keep on conjuring and proposing futures alternative to the single one the king wants to urge as the only thinkable one. ~ Walter Brueggemann, The Prophetic Imagination, 39-40.

One of the chief ways to share our faith today is sharing the story of God revealed to us in Scripture and how that story has shaped history, our community, and our personal story. Ultimately, conversion is not about mentally assenting to some truths, it's about trusting God and "switching stories." As we repent of the "American story," the "Hollywood story," or other stories that clamor for our trust, and instead trust in the gospel story, we start to live by a different script. - JR Woodward and Dan White, Jr., The Church as Movement
