Simply the Story

In September 2006, Simply The Story (STS) was born. The leaders of The God’s Story Project developed this training of trainers program.

Built on the foundation of “storying,” STS added the dynamic of training storytellers to dig deeply into a Bible story and to discover spiritual truths for themselves.

Another major distinctive of STS is that we train people of all socio-economic, cultural and educational backgrounds to teach others through discussion.

Literate and non-literate STS practitioners know how to tell accurate Bible stories in an interesting manner.

They also know how to form wise, gentle questions that allow others to discover spiritual truth and personal applications for themselves.

To see the latent abilities of non-literates surface as they use critical thinking skills to discover and lead others is a joy to behold.

The touching testimonies of highly literate people, even ones in ministry, encourage all of the STS instructors.

A missionary to South America told us after an STS workshop, “For 38 years, my husband has tried to get me to teach the ladies, but I said ‘No, I cannot teach. But I found out here with STS that I can tell stories and I can talk about them. I will now teach!”
