Storytelling for the Bible Teacher
For lessons they’ll remember for years.
Most Bible teachers already know their content. What they don't always know is how to make it stick.
You've felt it happen. You're explaining a passage you love, you know it's true and it matters, and your students are... polite. They're listening. They're just not really there. Ten minutes later, you'd be hard pressed to say what any of them actually remember.
It's not a preparation problem. It's a storytelling problem.
Storytelling for Bible Teachers is a free two-part workshop that teaches you why story is one of the most powerful tools available to any Bible teacher, and gives you a simple, repeatable process for building and delivering stories that help students remember, feel, and live differently.
Each session comes with a reflection worksheet and a set of tiered application activities, so you can put what you learn into practice before your very next lesson.
No writing background required. No natural gift for performance required. Just a process you can learn, repeat, and make your own.
What you'll learn:
Why stories help students remember far more than a list of facts, and why Jesus chose to teach this way
How to keep God as the hero of every story you tell, instead of accidentally making it about human effort or willpower
How to build a believable character, add sensory detail, and shape a story arc that holds a room's attention
How to adapt the same story for young children, older kids, teenagers, and adults
How to transition smoothly from your story back into Scripture and discussion
Your students will forget most of your points by next week. They will remember your stories for years. This workshop will help you tell better ones.
