Can you remember where you were and who you were with when you saw The Passion of the Christ for the first time? You might be surprised how many people would be able to tell you everything about that experience. People who heard that same story told hundreds of times suddenly remember everything about their experience with Mel Gibson's film. Why? Because stories make sermon stick. Preachers need to be good storytellers and luckily for those of us who aren't great storytellers by nature, there are lots of prompts, strategies, and tricks to tell better stories.

In this episode of Hello Church! Podcast we share how to elevate your storytelling through 7 different types of storytelling as well as a list of storytelling fails you will want to avoid. The last thing you want when telling a story, whether it's yours or one from scripture, is to get in the way of the core message and miss out on the impact it could and should have on listeners.
