ABOUT FROM THE BRANCH
Story. Story is how we make sense of the world we live in. We live in Story everyday, each of us, with our own narrative hooks, arc’s, and resolutions. One story ends and another begins. One story that has always inspired me is the story of Zaccheus. We all know the jingle from Sunday school, “Zaccheus was a wee little man and a wee little man was he…” As terrific as that jingle is, that is not what inspires me. What inspires me is that it’s a story about a sinner who did whatever it took to get a better view of Jesus. The Bible is full of stories about sinners, people like you and me, realizing for the first time that they are living in God’s redemptive story. And that recognition changes their lives. As a company, FROM THE BRANCH is committed to telling that story in a fresh, creative way, in a way that inspires teenagers and gives them a better view
of Jesus.
