Hello, everyone, everywhere.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

Welcome to the Faith Based Business podcast for tonight.

We're so blessed you're joining us as every time we get together to do this, I just get all excited.

Praise God.

I guess you can tell because I like talking with my hands.

Amen.

But we want to talk about, and we've been talking all week about storytelling.

Amen.

And storytelling, it isn't just an artist.

It's a science deeply rooted in human biology.

And we learned that last time that in today's fast paced digital world, storytelling has to adapt to shorter attention spans and diverse platforms.

Amen.

Modern audiences crave stories that are authentic and concise and visually engaging.

And today I want to talk about.

I'll tell you what, let's go ahead and share this screen here so we can jump over here and take a look at it.

Amen.

But today I want to talk about turning everyday moments into inspiring stories.

Amen.

Because, you know, these things help hold profound truths just waiting to be uncovered.

And, and from a morning walk to a conversation with a good friend, simple moments, they simply, deeply resonate when framed thoughtfully for your audience.

You know, observing the details and ordinary life will sharpen your storytelling skills.

You need to practice.

You need to, you know, like if you see a bird fly through, just try and describe that to someone who, you know, pretend, hopefully someone who is blind and can't see.

Try sharing what that bird looked like as it was flying and that'll help you to, to be able to develop the story and learn how to do that.

It'll, it'll enable you to, to draw on universal truths just from your personal experiences.

You should be able to draw on everyday things and, and learn how to weave an interesting story with almost zero preparation.

Amen.

Sometimes the things we share just off the cuff, those are the ones that resonate with the audiences the most.

Amen.

Think about if you were at a meeting and someone said, bob, you got a story about that, come on up here and tell us about it.

And you weren't on the schedule, you weren't on the agenda, you weren't prepared for it, would you be able to go up on that platform and for the next seven to ten minutes, hold the audience's attention and provide meaning and insight into your narrative?

That's the type of thing you should be able to do.

Amen.

For example, Jesus probably seen a farmer sowing seeds and you know, he's sitting there ministering to this crowd and he started to use that illustration.

They could look over their shoulder and see this guy out in the field, right?

And he used that illustration with what was has become now known as the the Sower sows the word Amen.

Sharing your ability to notice storytelling details in everyday life will definitely move your speaking ability to the next level.

Crafting relatable narratives that builds stronger connections with your audience as they can see themselves in your story.

Even mundane events can teach profound lessons when approached with intention.

And using everyday stories to impart complex lessons or principles makes it easier to understand.

By finding inspiration in small moments, you can create stories that inspire and engage your audience in deeply meaningful ways.

And stories that will be remembered long after the event happened.

Just like the story of the Sower sews the word Amen.

We've been talking about this for 2000 years and guess what?

Every time we tell it, you can picture that person sowing the sea, some falling on the rocks, some falling on the hard path, some falling in the weeds.

And then some make it into the good ground.

And you picture the birds coming in and eating the seas and the weeds grow up and choking out the plant.

You picture this 2000 years later, we can still make that a relevant story.

That's the type of story you need to tell about everyday things in your life.

It could be something simple like driving down the highway and somebody cut you off.

It could be something simple like you were walking up into the grocery store and you seen someone cut somebody off and it made them spill their basket or whatever the case may be.

You can relate it to your stories.

Amen.

Hallelujah.

Now, I'm conducting a live in depth training coming up very soon, November 26th.

In fact, you can register for it now because this will be published live before then.

Now, if you're watching this after November 26th, you're you can still register to look at the recording.

Okay, now you just need to go.

It's at 12 noon Eastern time on November 26th.

Amen.

There is a cost 27 involved for the live training, but for that small amount, it's going to be well worth that small investment.

Amen again.
