Watch and Wonder The Woman at the Well John 4: 5-42 Do Tell! In this story, Jesus sees this woman, this foreign woman, this woman he has NO BUSINESS being with (“Jews and Samaritans do not share things in common!”)–he sees her and reflects back to her the story of her life. In turn, in being seen, she begins to see Jesus for who he is– she sees the story of God unfolding before her. “Could this really be the Messiah?”…
I had the great privilege of attending and providing leadership for two conferences over the last two weeks: the Festival Gathering of the Network of Biblical Storytellers and the Go Disciple Live conference on discipleship and evangelism. You can read more about my talk at the GDL conference here. I used a few resources over those days, and as promised, I am sharing them here. VIDEOS other RESOURCES “To God, before whom I fall” was written and read by the amazing…

This post is a mash-up of previous posts on the story of Jesus in the wilderness for Lent 1. Though the stories told are from Matthew’s gospel (and we are in Luke this time around), they can still be applied! WATCH and WONDER X 2! This is one of my favorite kid-telling videos we made at our church. The wonderful Alex Bryant filmed and edited this one, which is why the quality is so great. My own children (who are…
Watch and consider the story of Bartimaeus! Thanks to Burke Presbyterian Church for helping me create this video! Also check out the Story Divine podcast to hear this story and more!
Here is the video we filmed a few years ago! If you are interested in a family liturgy around this story–please visit Practicing Families!
I have a lot of thoughts about this video, but for now, I’ll just leave it here for you. Blessings on this Easter. May you GO and TELL: HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN, INDEED!
Last year I posted information on our worship stations for our Wednesday night Lenten suppers…but I posted them after they occurred. This meant I could tell you about the stations, what went well, what didn’t–and you could see pictures. This year the only pictures will be borrowed from other sites that have done the projects–my own photos to be inserted later! My thanks to my colleague Patty Chamberlain and our Children’s ministry team members for brainstorming with me! One final note–as these…
