What is storyweaving?
Biblical storyweaving is an enriching approach to conversations that helps us explore one another’s life stories in the light of Scripture, to the end that we experience living in God's great story for us. This is more than a program or presentation. It’s a dynamic process that is adapted to each personal conversation. Does that sound amazing? It is!
Imagine an approach to outreach and spiritual formation that has all the following characteristics:
Live, participative training and implementation
“Active listening” and conversation that is engaging, natural, respectful, memorable
Adaptable for diverse situations, cultures, languages
Good for one conversation or many
Serves equally well for spontaneous or planned conversations
A Scripture-centric process that helps people to focus on God’s truth
Personally relevant and timely
Can do without technology, props, or large resources
Useful for people of any ethnicity or educational background
A joy to participate in
Complements all other forms of outreach and discipleship
Is being used by God to transform lives!
That is biblical storyweaving!
For further clarification, here is what biblical storyweaving is not:
It is not a win-lose debate
It is not a heated argument
It is not a “sales” presentation
It is not coercion or manipulation
It is not for competing with other approaches
It is not a Bible storytelling “dump truck”
It is not about lectures and workbooks
