D6 Breakout Notes:
Digital Storytelling for Today’s Kids, Matt Guevara
Matt Guevara is a veteran children's and family ministry leader, the author of 11 Ways to Share the Gospel with Digital Natives and is the Executive Director of INCM. In this breakout Matt explores storytelling principles and tools we can leverage to powerfully share God's Word in the ways kids naturally learn.
We are wired for story. Story is part of God’s imprint upon us. Story is how He revealed Himself to you and me.
Why does today’s generation need a different type of
storytelling? They are different than you and me. Their brains are fundamentally different in the way they
adopt and receive information.
We need to adapt and adjust how we story-tell to make learning fun and more relevant to their world.
We need to teach less step-by-step and lean into more story.
There’s a profound difference between a story and a report. A report is a list of things that happen in a linear sequence. A story is sharing the highs and lows of a character, so much movement and depth to a story.
