Story of God
For thousands of years, stories and oral traditions were the key means for Jewish and Christian people to learn about and experience God. Soma Communities interacts with the biblical narrative through stories as one of our primary ways of teaching and engaging the Word. Often, we use an ancient Hebrew process, now called Storying. This is proving to be very effective with people of all ages in our media-literate, story-oriented North American context. We interact with these stories as a way to understand, experience and connect with God through his Word in community.
Through the Story of God Blog, you can listen to some of our teachers tell the Story and folks in the Soma family engaging in dialogue around the narratives, and you can ask questions, give answers and participate in the dialogue online.
