God’s Story Project (www.gods-story.org)
Eighty percent (80%) of the world receives or prefers to receive information orally by hearing rather than reading. Eighty percent (80%) of the Bible’s contents is narrative, in other words, in story form (storytelling).
Jesus frequently used storytelling to teach spiritual truths to both non-literate and highly educated religious leaders of His day. Stories touch the human heart.
Seventy-five (75%) to eighty percent (80%)
retention takes place when information is given in story form. Only twenty-nine percent(29%) is retained when information is given outside of a story format, such as in a list.
God’s Story Project has created a training program called “Simply The Story” to teach inductive Bible Study using the format of storytelling. Storytelling is not dumbing down or simplifying the Bible.
Through a “Simply The Story” training workshop using “God’s Story: From Creation to Eternity”, students learn to:
• Tell the pure story of the Bible with attention to accuracy, nothing added or deleted.• Ask questions to pull out the “treasures”.• Ask questions to make life changing applications of the truths of the Bible story to their personal lives.
