Throwing Mountains
Welcome to the Throwing Mountains (formerly Empowered Manhood) podcast, where men rediscover courageous leadership. You'll be strengthened by the stories of God working in the lives of ordinary men today -- men who've become leaders in their spheres of influence by relying on God and following Jesus. You'll also gain a sharp focus on the biblical idea of masculine leadership which will help orient your own life as a man.

[PART 2] How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most with Author & Former Professional Baseball Player, Bob Wheatley
It didn't matter if it was a book, a movie, or even a Broadway show, it was stories that engaged Bob Wheatley's heart.
What he soon realized was that his love for stories was touching something deeper. It was fueled by his longing for God. These things weren't just stories. They were more like God's whispers and he was using them to draw Bob close.
The story he wanted to live was simple, and I'm sure you'll recognize it as well...
- The hero - the villain - the love interest to be saved.
- Paradise is lost.
- Paradise restored.
- The righteous flourish
- The wicked perish.
You get the idea. This story is the deepest desire of the human heart. So we tell it again and again.
It is also, as Bob describes in our interview today, the story of the Bible. Bob's heart in writing "Our Hearts Desire," was with one goal in mind - He wanted to help you fall in love with God. He wanted you to experience the love, joy and passion you seek. And you will find them by discovering, the story.
So we dive deeper into these premise in our interview today. And I think it will help you to fall more in love with God, as well as draw you back to you and closer to God's word.
