Our Heart’s Desire – Bob Wheatley – pt 1
Our Hearts’ Desire
Bob Wheatley pt 1
How many times have you been, let’s say, standing around the water cooler at work (if those things even exist anymore), just chatting it up with your co-workers. And somebody will mention on word or one subject and then, on person starts sharing a story relative to the topic. It could be a story you’ve heard many times. It could be YOU telling the story, over and over again. Some people will just roll their eyes and walk away. Others, even though they have heard the story, somehow are mesmerized by it.
Why do we often tell the same stories over and over again?
Have you noticed that Jesus often used stories to convey his primary messages. They were called parables. But stories nonetheless. Why are we drawn in by stories and story tellers? More importantly, how can WE use stories to share our messages? How can we put together a story that helps our business or communicates our message to the world in which we seek to impact?
My guest today is here to share that information with us.
Bob Wheatley is a former professional baseball player, turned speaker, author and co-host of “That Singles’ Show” – a singles ministry sponsored by KCBI radio in Dallas, Texas (my old stomping grounds, I’m very familiar with KCBI).
Bob has worked with bestselling authors, keynote speakers and world class musicians, helping them to “Get the Word Out” by storytelling as well.
He is the author of an absolutely fabulous book titled, “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most.”
Help me welcome to the program, Bob Wheatley!
Bob, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it!
First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Bob Wheatley?”
Let’s start with your baseball background. You played for the USC before moving into the minor leagues. What was that time of life like for you as you made that move to the professional ranks?
I’ve interviewed a few other professional athletes over the past couple of years. For the sake of those that may not have heard those episodes, perhaps new listeners, etc. Can you share the hard part of living life, basically “on the road” as a professional athlete?
Is there anything you wish you would’ve done differently that may have produced another outcome?
At what point did you give your life to Christ?
What did you do after leaving the professional ranks of baseball?
Folks, I believe Bob Wheatley has accurately described us all as being storytellers. YOU have a story to tell. A story that will impact someone’s life somewhere. But, you need to understand how to share it in a way that will impact someone. Not have them roll their eyes and walk away. Amen!
I urge you to drop down into the show notes and order you copy of Bob Wheatley’s book, “Our Heart’s Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most.” For those of you who are speakers or business owners, this book will provide you with some very important insights into how to communicate your story effectively.
