    s4a636 - Over and Out!

    s4a636 - Over and Out!

    Today's show:

    • End of an era
    • May 2006 until August 2018
    • story4all is transitioning

    Bryan announces his closing of story4all as it is currently known. This has been a difficult decision, but due to the role change for his family, Bryan records his last show today, as he has discovered it will not be possible to maintain a show of quality in his future mobile and global role with Simply the Story and which involves his being without a permanent home and office.

    Our initial 2006 goal of informing, mobilising and resourcing the Body of Christ into using oral communication as a ministry tool, and in particular, storytelling with discussion, has been reached.

    Please keep an eye on this page and on the following links for further announcement towards a transition of the podcast in the future:

    Orality and God's Word: An Interview with Brian Smith about Davar Partners

    Orality and God's Word: An Interview with Brian Smith about Davar Partners

    Close to 80% of the people in the world are oral preference learners. This means that even if they have a written language, they prefer to learn by listening. In today's episode, Brian Smith, Chairman of the Board of Davar Partners International shares how this organization is working to record God's Word languages of people groups that have no form of the Bible in their heart language.

    Today's show:

    • An exciting new project
    • A new book
    • An oral community online

    Bryan speaks to one of the trio of authors for the new book just launched, entitled "Master Storyteller". It is much more than a book as it is a project helping the Body of Christ with how God communicates and has communicated orally down through the ages, as well as calling the Church to reflect on this as she also proclaims the Gospel and Story of God. This week's show covers this and many other highly interesting aspects of this new venture.
