How to Tell Your Story to Get Results with Barb Stanley

"If God has given you a story to tell, do you know how to tell it in a way that gets results?"This is the question we are going to answer today as I tell the story of how I was called into ministry, and then share what I have learned over the past few years about how to tell a story in a way that motivates people to take action. So join us and find out what the cub scouts have to do with disability ministry at my church, why the words you use aren't the most important thing you communicate, and in a Wonderful Works Talks first- find out what moved me to tears (and yes, you will have to wait to the end to hear that part of the story - but it's worth it.) Excited for this one because your story matters and so does how you tell it!Show Notes: Tips for Telling Your StoryBarb Stanley bio:Barb Stanley is the Founder and President of Wonderful Works Ministry, an online disability ministry resource center that specializes in creating tools that churches need to support families impacted by disability through free training videos, classroom tools, and adapted kids' Bible stories.

We want you to know that at Wonderful Works Ministry, we know that words matter. We will strive to use preferred language regarding disability. But we also understand that preferred terms change over time and also can be subjective and vary from person to person, even among those with a shared diagnosis. With this in mind, we ask that you understand that we, here at Wonderful Works, and our guests may use a variety of terms on this show and in our resources. Please know that we will always approach language with inclusion, dignity and respect, and we hope you will too. Thank for listening!One more quick note:The views and opinions expressed in our show are those of our guests and do not necessarily reflect those of Wonderful Works Ministry.
