# Episode 61: The Value of Storytelling in Parenting

Stories are one of the most powerful—and memorable—ways fathers can teach their children. In this episode, John and Kris discuss Walt Brock’s article, The Value of Storytelling and explore why God uses stories throughout Scripture, what kinds of stories fathers should tell, and how sharing stories of God’s faithfulness, our failures, and His grace can shape the next generation. They also share practical tips for becoming better storytellers and making everyday moments opportunities to teach our kids.
