If you know anything about what I actually do you know I spend a great deal of time training disciples and training trainers of disciples and all of this begins with a course called “The Story-Formed Life”. I’m spending so much time in fact that I’m thinking about creating a site that will help equip people to use this training and the center of that site will be a video course.
So from time to time I’ll post videos here that I’m making for that course.
Here’s my first shot at it –
From Eden to Zion 
Thanks for putting this up, Jerm. It helps me @ least get some idea what you’re thinking about, and I like what I see/hear. Nice use of “vis a vis,” too. Well played.
Jeremy, really appreciate this. Looking forward to more videos.
I think that in general, the importance of Bible Stories for evangelism and discipleship among both “primarily oral” (aka “illiterate”) and “secondarily oral” (“post modern”, “post literate”, “read for survival not enjoyment”) crowd is making a comeback even in the the US/UK.
Chuck – the only caveat I would point out to what you are saying is that, even in a highly literate culture, people should still be primarily formed by the Story of God. The Bible uses narrative not simply because it’s an accessible tool for many people at various levels but also because its the BEST tool for us understanding his character and our identity.
