In this week’s episode of The Ministry Growth Show, we’re continuing a series where we are sharing our thoughts and insights on all things brand, marketing, and storytelling. Today, we’ll be highlighting the power of history of storytelling. Stories have power. They have the power to emotionally engage people, to sway decisions, the power to transform, encourage, and edify. We can use this powerful tool to help our ministries grow and become more effective. Story also has a rich history. We are living through a global shift in communication, and story is more relevant today than it’s ever been.
