I consider myself as much of a storyteller as I do a preacher. Now, hold on for a minute. Before you claim heresy and throw me under the bus, let me clarify. I'm not talking about telling fluffy stories that move people no closer to the Gospel. Instead, I'm talking about telling the grand narrative of Scripture. That is why I'm jazzed up about a new event coming this fall.
STORY is a first-of-its-kind experience for communicators of the Gospel
- the greatest story ever told. It will be held on Wednesday, October
28 at the Paramount Theater in Aurora, Illinois. Speakers include
Donald Miller, Nancy Beach, Dave Gibbons, Ed Young, Stacy Spencer,
Chris Seay and Mike Foster. A day of workshops will follow on October
29 at nearby Orchard Valley Community Church, featuring illustrators,
designers, scholars, authors and communications experts. Register for
the conference and enter to win 2 free trips to the Kilns - CS Lewis'
home in Oxford, England - at www.StoryChicago.com.
Threads will have a heavy involvement and is partnering with my friend, Ben Arment, to help make this event happen. We're fired up about seeing how it all comes together and I am personally really excited about teaching at it.
