Biblical Storytelling: Principles and practices to embolden Ministry

Jonny Lewis & Dai Woolridge | 4th November 2024

“Story, as it turns out, was crucial to our evolution – more so than opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs let us hang on; story told us what to hang on to.”

Lisa Cron, Wired for Story

Story is a part of our DNA, but are we losing the ability to call on the power of story when we minister to young people? Dai Woolridge and Jonny Lewis aim to unpack both the principles and practices of transformative storytelling, and how we might effectively engage young people with the Bible – both in a group and on their own.

Jonny Lewis is Church Engagement Manager (South and West Areas) for the Bible Society.

Dai Woolridge is Resident Bible Society Spoken Word Poet.
