Today's show:
Bryan begins a new series today on how to prepare, share and dig deep in a story. Far too many people think storytelling is for children and a simplistic form of ministry. Today we launch into this subject through a 'live' demo of a story presentation that Dorothy Miller gave at a recent International Orality Network conference in the USA. In this first episode we hear her start by bringing the story to us in three different ways as we learn it together. Links ... The God's Story Project ... God's Story video ... Megavoice players ...

Today's show:
Mark Getz, who began last week with training about Bible storytelling in an ION (Int'l Orality Network) conference workshop, and, after his story demo, continued with a focus on "the storyline", now concludes today with a focus on the story itself and on the student of the story. This two-part series by Mark is a practical simple approach to get you going in storytelling and gives several tips, which, as he says, he has "stolen" from several storytelling practitioners who have taught and contributed in ION.
