"Share a story - Change the World" . . . for Real

"SHARE A STORY, CHANGE THE WORLD" is, when it comes to biblical storytelling, much more than just a catchy motto, catch-phrase or slogan - it's a real possibility. Not just with children, but with adults, as well. With "church-attenders," and with prison inmates.
One of the most powerful aspects of biblical telling is that the life that is changed may well be, and often is, the life of the teller.

Comment by Tom A.B. Taylor on April 22, 2008 at 6:30pm: In the market for a Blessing?

Check out an amazing group: THIS HOPE

Originally from Alaska, same small town, same high school, sang 5 yrs together prior to going professional; spent one more yr in Alaska, then figured out that Alaska wasn't exactly a "hotspot" of activity for their profession. Moved to Georgia, where they remain. Their families tour with them. They're all related, and it is a hoot to hear'em describe how and why that came to be so!

Their music is flawless. Their message is heartfelt and dead-on. If you invest in an album and don't like it, or feel that I have misled you in any way about these guys, I will purchase your CD from you.

In the market for a Blessing - try THIS HOPE!

In Him,

Tom T

Folks, please take a moment to visit Janet's page, find out a bit about her, then drop her a line of welcome -

Anyone have an extraordinary day of worship yesterday? If so, share!

Comment by Roger Armstrong on April 19, 2008 at 8:42pm: In His infinite wisdom, the Lord has allowed me to serve my present church for 2 years. I love it here. I am surrounded by stories of all kinds in a community that seems to have risen from some fable about small town America. I love it here...but we have learned that the Bishop will appoint us in June to serve a congregation four hours away. It is a sad time, and exciting at the same moment. But it is getting me "stuck"...my creativity seems to have gone on holiday.
Perhaps you folks have a story that resonates with my situation...if so, you might send it to me offlist. I haven't asked for any input before, but someone said, "Ask, and you shall receive."
Thanks!
Roger

Comment by Tom A.B. Taylor on March 30, 2008 at 9:21pm: Good for you, Bruce!

Man, now I want to hear that story - could you share it with us, either written or audio?

That's exciting. How many folks were there?

And, no, the Holy Spirit does NOT miss an opportunity to work!

Carry on!

Comment by Bruce Walker on March 30, 2008 at 8:46pm: I told a story I titled "When Hell had a Revival" in a secular setting last night, and the feedback was great!! I didn't know how a story about death, hell, satan etc. woudl go over, but I had several seek me out afterwards and ask if I had other stories like that to tell. I told it just like it was a regular story, but of course to me it is anything but regular. I am always amazed at how the Holy Spirit enters anywhere there is an opening!!!
