Love this blog post by Mark Batterson on the power of storytelling:

“A recent Fast Company article made a profound comment on the power of storytelling. “The stories that you tell about your past shape your future.”

“That one statement is so critical to effective leadership and communication. One of my definitions of a “leader” is the person who knows the most stories! A leader shapes culture by telling and re-telling stories.

“Stories are cathartic. They add a level of authenticity and integrity. Their is nothing more powerful than telling or hearing a spiritual story. It’s no wonder Jesus was so narrative! I want NCC to be a storytelling culture.”
