Stories and Questions

Two things that Jesus was well known for was telling stories and asking questions. It seems to be his preferred teaching style – and it’s easy to see why: a well told story can write its way into your memory banks, reshaping not just what you know, but who you become. As the story becomes part of you, you feel that you’ve become part of the story too!

Similarly, asking (or being asked) the right question is an invitation that holds the power to change the course of our lives.
