Have you ever asked whether your life story is about you or part of something greater? As we kick off the third season of "The Bright Forever," we hope to illuminate the transformative power of viewing our lives as part of Jesus's grand narrative. We look at how this simple song speaks volumes and reminds us sweetness found in the precious story of our Savior.
This episode takes you on a journey through the heartfelt history of the classic hymn "Tell Me the Story of Jesus," crafted by Fanny Crosby and John Sweney. We explore their commitment to Christian education and ministry, highlighting their work in communities and the lasting impact of their hymn, which even offered solace during the tumultuous days of World War I. Through Crosby’s personal challenges and her legacy of love and encouragement, we find inspiration in the stories behind these timeless hymns and their profound impact on faith and life. Join us to celebrate the role of hymns in rediscovering Jesus's narrative in our lives.
