Using Stories for Health Education and Holistic Impact

Storying is a powerful way
to learn new ideas and pass them along to others. Stories impact lives and change behavior. Stories can be used for wholistic teaching, building physical and emotional health, and sharing biblical truths. Stories work effectively with people from all ages and all educational levels, and are a key strategy to work with oral learners. This session will illustrate the use of health stories and Bible storying, and will teach how to do storying. Participants will learn to ask thought-provoking questions that stimulate discussion. They will learn to use stories to multiply teaching to others. They will also learn where to find collections of stories that others have found effective.
