Empathic Reasoning with Speech Teach Jimmy Urbanovich

What if story isn't just how we communicate, but fundamentally who we are? Communication Studies professor Jim Urbanovich joins us for a fascinating exploration of narrative as the very foundation of human connection and understanding. 

"Story is not optional. It is essential," Jim explains, setting the tone for a conversation that weaves through decades of shared history, the power of metaphor, and the critical importance of civil discourse in our divided world. As a former pastor turned communication professor, Jim brings a unique perspective on how sharing our stories creates bridges across seemingly unbridgeable divides.

Jim Urbanovich is currently a Communication Studies professor at Crafton Hills College in Redlands; he is a former pastor, a father of four, and a grandfather of two. He’s been married to his high school sweetheart (and regular Language of the Soul guest), René Urbanovich, for over forty years. Jim is the author of "Critical Thinking in the Age of Social Media" and formerly a blog titled, jimmysintension.com.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.

This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
