Back in the early days of chronological Bible teaching when the concept was being adapted for our own needs and objectives I had felt the need to change the term from "chronological Bible teaching" to "chronological Bible Storying" to place a delibe…

Back to JO's topic.... I'd been thinking a bit about the terms 'narrative preaching' and 'preaching with stories' and 'narrative-based preaching.' It is very hard to have a good term, principally because 'narrative preaching' already comes with bag…

Also, Simply the Story is based on a 10 verse Bible Story. Right now I am going through Genesis to??? on Wednesday night. I am doing longer segments usually. Last PM was Genesis 19 - 38 verses. I would like to have time to master the STS method. Rig…

True, and some settings do not allow for participation. My group was a prayer meeting of 15 to 20 people. It now ranges from 30-35, so it's still pretty intimate. What helps too, is that this group is a 30/70 mix of print learners and oral learners.

Needed: Text on Narrative-Based Preaching for/to Oral Communicators

I am contemplating a book (booklet) to attempt to collect my thoughts and experiences on narrative-based preaching. One of the issues has been what to call it. Narrative Preaching as used here in the U.S. has too much baggage. Story-based preaching appears to sound too "lightweight" for some because of the word "story" which implies more entertainment than in-depth teaching. So I have gravitated to using the term “narrative-based preaching” and am attempting to define it as preaching using Bible… Continue

New Bible Storying Website

In cooperation with the Church Starting Network I have added a linked website www.Bible-Storying.com to post Bible Storying-related articles and current copies of the Bible Storying Newsletter. Through Church Starting Network www.churchstarting.net I hope to add a number of resources such as story sets and how-to resources for those new to Bible Storying.

After a recent return visit to South India I was moved to discover a church planting movement in progress. Local evangelicals have covenanted… Continue
