A “story” is a means of structuring information for learning and meaning. Even though stories and story-telling have somewhat of a bad reputation, presenting the gospel as a story can be a powerful tool in our spiritual conversations.

Caring for nonbelievers is about investing capital that God supplies me into the lives of others, trusting that Jesus will make these investments grow.
