The power of storytelling evokes emotions, imagination, and entertainment all while teaching a lesson. Whether it was hard lessons of discipline Jesus shared or encouragement to trust God and not worry, Jesus used the power of storytelling to draw people to His heart, and we can do the same. 

We’re called to be like Jesus in everything we do. Shouldn’t that include how we approach others, share hard things, or apply Jesus’ teaching to every aspect of life? We can be like Nathan in 2 Samuel who approaches David about his wrongdoing through a story to help him see his sin. Whether it’s calling out wrongdoing in another brother or sister or building them up in the faith, we can open the door to the heart of Jesus and His love for us through the power of storytelling to point them to the truth of Scripture–one thought provoking story at a time.
