How To Tell A Story (A Story Paints A Picture)
Peter Westerman, Denville, NJ
CSB Ministries Staff Associate
Everyone likes a good story! Storytelling is a terrific way to teach spiritual lessons. It has a universal appeal. There’s not one young man in your Stockade or Battalion who doesn’t like a good story. A good story commands attention. It sticks in the mind. A boy will tell the story he heard at a Stockade meeting to his parents when he gets home. He’ll tell it to his friends. Some stories he will remember for a lifetime. Just think how many stories you heard as a child that you could still remember. That’s why the Brigade encourages storytelling. Storytelling is a challenging skill that demands some time, effort, and a bit of courage to develop. This skill can be developed and you can be a more effective storyteller.

In this session we will look at some of the basics of Men’s Ministry. We will look at things like: Why we need Men’s Ministry? What does an effective Men’s Ministry look like? Why is it different than Women’s Ministry? And then finally how do we get started or even adjust the Men’s Ministry that we already have? In a world that is fighting for the next generation we need to have a battle plan of our own. That battle plan should include an active Men’s Ministry. Let’s see if we can figure out how to make that happen.
