Stories are a powerful tool for expressing truth.
We have the opportunity to use stories to share about Jesus–the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Culturally there’s a lot of pushback against anyone who chooses to use their voice and talents to intentionally share their Christian faith. That is why this conference is focused on helping storytellers navigate this pressure and succeed in triumphantly sharing well-crafted stories that effectively disciple others.
If you have pursued Christian storytelling for any length of time, you’ve probably heard some version of one of these comments:
“You can just make your stories clean, they don’t have to be Christian.” (i.e. Don’t bring up God. He doesn’t sell well.)
“Christianity in stories is always either preachy or cheesy.” (i.e. If you do bring up God, you’ll do it wrong.)
