Why Storytelling?

Updated: Oct 19, 2021

Catch an appetite for the spiritual practice


From Sunday School teacher Trent Parkhill: "Telling stories has been central to people throughout time. For example, the oldest stories in the Bible were passed down by telling the next generation for over a thousand years before they wrote them down. And each family has stories that they tell over and over. For example, we are just getting to know a friend of our youngest son in Zoom calls each week, and each week we find ourselves telling old stories. For any group, a family, a group of friends, a church, the stories remind us of how we are connected to each other, about the things we have in common, the care and maybe love that holds us together. When we share our stories with other people, friends, new people we meet, we may not think about it, but we are making a choice to bring them into our circle of family, of friends. We are saying they matter and we are offering to make a stronger connection with them. When we connect with people through our stories, we are saying that they matter to us, so we are loving our neighbor."
