What Happened Isn’t the Story

Most of us think the story is the event. The trip. The moment. The experience. But what if the real story isn’t what happened… It’s what it revealed? In Part One of this conversation, Robert puts Tony in the hot seat to talk about why some stories stick with us, and others fade fast. They unpack the difference between an account and a story, explore what Tony calls the “colonel of truth,” and wrestle with why meaning isn’t found in the moment itself, but in what it changes inside us. Along the way, they hit on vulnerability, reflection, faith, and why the most powerful stories usually cost the teller something. Plus, they bring back the fan-favorite Porch Picks segment with a mix of laugh-out-loud takes and “wait… that actually hit” moments. Pull up a chair. The porch is open. #ThePulpitAndPorch #FrontPorchFaith #StorytellingMatters #FaithAndLife #ChristianPodcast #TruthOrTrash #RealTalk #FaithConversations #MeaningOverMoments #PorchTalk
