The Artist Speaker

Called to speak at retreats? You need to tell

your story!

Background

The majority of these sessions will focus on story-

telling in the context of the Christian Artist (in all

different sorts of denominations). However, the

substance of these ideas can extend to story-telling

through other communications processes as well—

through conversations, email blasts, blog posts,

online social media.

Story Telling is a Practice in Leadership

Your story is the “why” of purpose that has led you to become a

performing artist and worshiper—the art of translating values into

action through stories. It is an iterative discussion process through

which individuals, communities, and nations construct their identity,

make choices, and inspire action.

The Head– Many leaders are often good at the analysis side of public

speaking—and focus on presenting a good, deep argument or

strategy. Alternately, other leaders tell their personal story—but

The Heart– It is often a tale of heartbreak that educates us about the

challenge but doesn’t highlight the choices and the potential for

hopeful supernatural outcomes.

Transformation Begins with Emotion

Our story-telling work here is an effort to

tell a story that involves Gods

transformation through our head and heart

AND moves people to use their hands and

feet in action.

The key to this story-telling is

understanding that Gods values inspire

action through emotion.
