Christian Storytelling for Busy People®

Christian Storytelling for Busy People®

Do you lose your listeners when you tell a story? It may be a great story with a knockout ending, but you get blank stares or absent-minded nods at the end. You were so sure it was the story the group needed to hear to drive the point home, so where did it go wrong? As well, you know down deep that Christian storytelling is of utmost, even ultimate, importance—but struggle to define any difference.

Proverbs 25:11 says, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." (ESV) My goal is to help you find the right words to tell stories that impart immense spiritual wealth to your listeners.

I’ve named this course StoryGold®, and its two goals are:

1. To guide you in how to tell a faith-focused story—a story that helps point your listener toward God and His ways.

2. To reveal to you how to put those stories together in the middle of your busy schedule.

What we'll show you is designed to either watch or listen on-the-go. And at the end of the course, you’ll be better able to:

- spot the right story for your listener

- find the ending that will bring a new understanding

- hone in on the details that make a richer story

- piece together and tell your story quickly

- create a deep connection with your listener

- land the ending in a profound, impactful way

You'll gain confidence as you learn how to craft the pieces of an engaging story, so whether you're in a conversation, in a classroom, at work, or on the radio, when the opportunity arrives you'll be ready to share a story that truly connects on a heart level and brings the hearer closer to God.
