Connecting to your storytelling context
Key here is to consider where and to whom you will be sharing a Bible story.
Included here are two insights that add to the discussion. They support the importance of connection and to be fully present in the moment of listening to others.
Scripture Union (in Victoria, Australia at least) have a 5C approach that is helpful here. It’s another reminder that connecting with those we are serving is part of the storytelling process.
Another helpful reminder here for you, as a story listener, is to be fully present in the moment … listening and responding to those who are sharing there stories with you.
