#5 in the eformation Series
Stories captivate and entertain us.
Stories also educate and encourage us.
At a favorite conference
we were asked
to think about our STORY.
How can we connect into the STORY-
God is already writing?
What is our piece of that?
An excellent book that helped me
to better understand
to better understand
the impact of electronic faith formation
and our story,
and our story,
is Faith Formation 4.0 by Julie Anne Lytle.
She begins to unravel this complex
and messy issue that we are dealing
with of the established church
and messy issue that we are dealing
with of the established church
and its integral place in faith formation.
As followers of Jesus, we live out our lives
here on earth with the power of the Holy Spirit
breathed into each of us.
We walk and move about learning to understand
the mandate to Go and Tell and Make Disciples.
Each and every day is learning
more about just what this means
individually and collectively.
This "working it out"
begins to unite knowing and being
to illustrate how the way we live our lives
can become an invitation to others.
Lytle says,
" This is a story-keeping, story-telling,
and story- making process
" This is a story-keeping, story-telling,
and story- making process
whereby community members remember
and retell their experience
and understanding of God's presence
and the response it inspires."
How wonderful when stories told include His people
in all walks of life and stages of life.
in all walks of life and stages of life.
Can you begin to see how the Master StoryTeller-
wants to use YOUR STORY
to bring HIS HANDIWORK glory?
