Storytelling is Not an Instant Download: Eric Metaxas and Andrew McDiarmid
In this clip from The Eric Metaxas Show, writer and podcaster Andrew McDiarmid and Eric Metaxas discuss how storytelling is different from today's digital idea of information. "Digital technology is a download," says McDiarmid. "But a good storyteller reveals things in time." Metaxas points out that those who don't believe in a diety tend to take on the role themselves. "If there is no God, we are just atomized bits of information, there's no meaning, no grand narrative. Therefore we can become gods ourselves."

This interview is based on McDiarmid's latest article in the New York Post detailing the mental benefits of thinking in the digital age:
