Branden, Mike, Peter, and Grant pick up our “Science of Storytelling” series with a discussion of episodic storytelling structure and pacing! Branden walks us through the structure and guides the discussion; and as usual, we come up with examples along the way. See the full show notes for Branden’s suggested outline.
Scripture: Genesis 1:14-18, Matthew 28:19-20
Branden’s suggested episodic structure outline:
- I see a problem
- and decide to do something
- that helps the situation
- but something else happens related to one of my actions
- and I must deal with that
- so the world can be right again
