Born to Tell Stories

I just thought these words were poignant and really worth pondering:
“The last few years have convinced me that stories are the thing that makes deep transformation possible. And lately, I’m finding, too, that stories are the thing that help us connect as human beings. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, black or white, kind or cruel—if you can tell me a story from an honest place inside your heart, I can feel close to you. I can override all the other things that might naturally keep us apart.” —Jen Lemen

It seems that everyone is hitting on this theme of “story telling.” Before we were writing, we were carrying on stories orally, fiction and non-fiction. This theme is so common, I’m really captivated by how broadly this need as been expressed.
The Bible is a huge story, with the most important message ever told. How can we get this ’story’ back into a form which produces the same captivity oral story telling used to have?
It’s not just the platform, but how can we as a community of Christ Followers tell this story as the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us?
