Discover the Power of Story: Connect Deeply with God and Others

Storytelling has the power to change our relationships. Have you ever felt this? 

...maybe it was a time you were vulnerable with a friend or small group, and you saw invisible walls crumbling down.

Or when you opened up to someone new and discovered surprising similarities. 

What could we learn from Jesus as the master storyteller?

His parables never carry a single meaning but reveal more about ourselves and God every time we revisit them. He told stories to bind his followers to those they never intended to care about, and to define their mission.

Isn’t this the kind of connection we need right now, with God and one another—especially as we confront crises of trust, loneliness, and divisions in our communities?

This is why Luther Seminary’s Faith+Lead is hosting Story Bridge: Using Story to Connect with God and Others. Join us to:

  • Transform your spiritual connections through the power of storytelling.

  • Recognize how God has wired us to seek out stories and uses stories to communicate with us.

  • Generate compelling ideas for sharing your own story.

  • Build confidence to share your faith story comfortably—without feeling like you are aggressively evangelizing.

  • Practice framing more stories as faith stories, and inspiring others to do the same.
