The Power of Storytelling

No matter what you’re teaching, if you put it into a story … everyone tends to remember it better.

The Master Teacher of all time knew that very well, for that’s precisely how Jesus of Nazareth taught. Telling stories. Not preaching.

When I taught school, I taught in stories. Heck, I even “talk” in stories now - and likely have for most of my life.

Long, long before ancient humans could ever read or write or text or message, we told stories to one another.  A story, well told, will captivate us all.

And one of the most amazing things about the stories of old; we often can’t put a name or a face on the people in them. Yet, they are told and retold.

I will tell you now three stories you’ve never heard, but deserve to be told.
