Everyone wants to be part of a story. And we live in a culture that is saturated by stories. There are movies, books, and short stories; and we all have our own stories that we share with people every day. In this seminar we’re going to look at a mode of communication that uses the art of storytelling as a medium for engaging students with real-life issues, and then relates these topics to the ultimate story that’s centered in the way of Jesus. This seminar will be a time of conversation, questions, and instruction on why and how we can engage our students through this method of storytelling. We’ll get very specific about how to create our own stories (fiction and nonfiction) using plot, characters, and setting to communicate a specific topic.
