Zach Leighton is the Principal Creative at Reliant Creative, a digital marketing agency for Christian nonprofits and churches. He’s worked in the Christian nonprofit and church space for over a decade and his passion for storytelling is surpassed only by his love for Jesus Christ and his desire to see His Kingdom come. Revelation 12:11 tells us that the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony is what will conquer “him.” And yet, very little of the content the Church is currently creating is story and testimony.
“He who controls the narrative controls the culture.” If we want to have a say in culture, we must lead with story and narrative first.
Church, it’s time to start using story and narrative to our advantage. Our stories are the greatest tool we have, the greatest tool for inspiring people to action, for emotionally engaging a lost world. We have the greatest stories ever told! Death to live transformation. Let’s start testifying of his redemptive work in our lives and the lives of His people.

    absolutely, it's called Christian intolerance and hate filled messages, so sad...the hypocrisy is astonishing. Jesus was the ultra cool liberal and then the rightwing turned him into something else. My version is awesome, no hate...just JC being cool AF telling us that God is all of our fathers and tolerance is key, judgements are wicked (Who is throwing that first stone?) Then there is LUKE 14:26 throwing in the ultimate curve ball. A twisted fairytale pretending to be the words of God.

    Great Challenge Zach. Story telling is lost in the western church culture in deference to multipoint sermons in chart format which does not re-present the Gospel well. Meanwhile, darkness uses story very effectively at all levels.

    • @zachleighton
      @zachleighton ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm glad you're enjoying the content. I definitely don't think it's intentional, but rather a byproduct of this post-enlightenment period where everything in the West has to be rooted in logic and reason. We're missing out on an opportunity to carry truth to a lost world because we've lost the art of storytelling.

      Absolutely. The Church is broken because it's full of broken people in need of a savior. It's what makes Christ's love for His bride and His work on the cross so incredible. Knowing our brokenness, sin, and rebellion against Him, He still went to the cross and paid the ultimate price. God's people (the Church) will be imperfect until His return, but that doesn't mean God's people don't care, we're just all in process.
