story4all

Today's show:

• A look at the scandal of biblical illiteracy
• How do we turn this tide?
• Can story have a role in this?

The June edition of story4all Magazine has just been released this past week on Apple's Newsstand. The subject of the month was biblical illiteracy and what can be done to turn the tide. This week Bryan brings some of the statistics to the show and discusses how storytelling and meditating on the Word can effect the way believers interact with the Word of God and thus turn the tide on biblical illiteracy.

Today's show:

• Casual storytelling on the bus, in a coffee shop, waiting in line, etc.
• But how do I kick things off with that person in front of me?
• Bryan shares some tips in starting conversations

Bryan share today about a style of storytelling he uses most and which he thoroughly enjoys ... the art of casually sharing a Bible story with someone you might meet on the street, in a bank, on public transportation or in a coffee shop. Today, using some of the training offered by Simply the Story, he suggests some ideas for starting conversations to help listeners brainstorm on how they might start conversations with people. Join us next week, for a second part in the series, as we discuss story selection.
