- " Master storytellers know how to squeeze life out of the least of things, while poor storytellers reduce the profound to banal" Robert McKee
- "Great conference. I'm still buzzing with the possibilities. The networking and connections alone made it worth my time, but the potential for the future is the real prize" Shane Sooter
- "Jesus was not a theologian; He was God who told stories." Madeleine L'Engle
- "We must go beyond “preach” and “print”…to “portray.” The success of the expansion of the Church will hinge on how well we personally demonstrate and visually portray who Jesus is and what impact He can have in our lives' Paul Eshleman

You'll notice I've shortened on the Blog page to read:
“Combining narrative and visual media in communicating the message of Jesus and Scripture"
Missed that. Much better.
Probably not a big deal for your audience, but that statement sounds like "Jesus" and "Scripture" are two either separate and/or equal realities. Portraying Scripture as the sole authority - this is a particularly Protestant tenancy, no? Does your network seek to attract non-Protestant communities? Just curious...

Thanks for the comment Sky,
Our desire is to serve the whole whole body of Christ through
the authority of the triune God, exercised through scripture, which, I believe reflects Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox theology. The statement here is not to promote a distinction between Jesus and Scripture but to promote the power of His person and the message of the Bible narrative. The statement is also not intended to alienate any audience. Do you think it does?
