“If you want to change the culture, entertain it!” Story takes us someplace and all effective communication ultimately comes down to story. Our guest this week is author and professor Dr. Mark Paustian who will be talking about the power of a 2 minute story around a single truth and how we can use communication theory to share our faith and help people connect more deeply to Jesus. As the discussion winds down we hope you might consider a few questions:

What is your favorite Bible story?
Why that story? – What does it teach you or convey to you about Jesus?
What does it do TO you? What does that story do FOR you?
and lastly – How would you tell it to someone who needs to hear it?

Perhaps the greatest opportunity for sharing your faith might be listening to someone else tell of their challenges and you yourself might reply “That reminds me of a story, stop me if you’ve heard it?”
