Video Coming Soon
Stories bring information alive. If you’ve ever read one of Richard’s books, you know what a big believer he is in them. Not long ago, a reader of I Need A Life wrote to ask if the “Peter” in one of Richard’s stories was really him. Richard’s answer:
If you found yourself in that story, then maybe it was you.

When you identify with a story, you remember it. That’s why the stories Jesus told are still changing lives two thousand years later.
A good story stops you in your tracks and makes you think about your own life.
Stories offer emotional moments that facts alone never reach.
You find yourself in the story — and the lesson stays with you.
In seminary, Richard took a course on the “Parables Jesus Told.” What struck him most was how Jesus framed His stories. Most of the time He told them to answer a question — and the same story did two very different things.
Switch the listener and watch what they hear.
Behold, a sower went forth to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side… But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit.
Matthew 13:3–8
A message of clarity. The story makes them pause, think and find the connection to the very question they were struggling with.
Confusion. Looking for something to use against Him, they’re left scratching their heads, trying to understand what He was talking about.
Every story is examined the same way, so its message moves from the page into your life. See the method in action with the Good Samaritan.
What was happening when Jesus told the story — and the question that started it.
An expert in the law stands up to test Jesus: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Each story comes with its own monthly rhythm — so you don’t just hear the message, you live with it.
A 60–90 minute virtual seminar with Richard on that month’s story.
A downloadable PDF study guide to take each story deeper on your own.
A live 60-minute Zoom group discussion to ask questions and share insights.
Carry a timeless message into your week — then begin the next story.
Matthew 13:1–23
