but how? and why?
SLIDE 5
it’s all about story…
SLIDE 6
SLIDE 7
“dances up the ladder from information to knowledge to wisdom”
SLIDE 8
“a great story invites an expansion of understanding, a self transcendence…”
SLIDE 9
“more than that, it plants a seed which makes it impossible to do anything but grow in understanding…”
SLIDE 10
there are stories all around us…
SLIDE 11
competition? or apprenticeship?
SLIDE 12
wonder with me about story spaces that are digital
SLIDE 13
a paradox exists: the public performance of hatred and an unprecedented opportunity to experience freedom are both present in digital cultures
Michael Wesch
SLIDE 14
self enclosed stories?
SLIDE 15
expansive, connected stories?
SLIDE 16
how might we climb up the ladder, and help to practice knowledge that might lead to wisdom in our stories? where are we doing that already?
SLIDE 17

five practices for living in the tragic gap

let’s explore a bit with each other… let’s try some “what ifs?”
SLIDE 22
what if God is all around us, communicating with us even — perhaps mostly! — in the midst of digital cultures?
SLIDE 23
what if…. try reading this commercial through your theological lenses
SLIDE 24
SLIDE 25
turn to your neighbor and see if you can find a way to talk about an “and” move as you think about what it means to be Christian… what would an “and” move look like if we were using Christian stories to talk about it?
SLIDE 26
four dynamics we’re learning from games
- urgent optimism
- weaving a tight social fabric
- blissful productivity (optimized to do hard meaningful
work)
- epic meaning
Jane McGonigal
SLIDE 27
what if we could use social media to weave a more tight social fabric? what could that look like?
SLIDE 28
SLIDE 29
turn to your neighbor and talk about something you’ve encountered via social media that has helped to shape your sense of the social fabric
SLIDE 30
what if we could find ways to enter digital culture that create and draw upon blissful productivity?
SLIDE 31
SLIDE 32
turn to your neighbor and share a story about a time when you found yourself being blissfully productive… (doesn’t have to be in church!)
SLIDE 33
we need to work on sharing our stories, and digital culture invites us to do so in myriad ways
SLIDE 34
- ur religious communities need to share stories
that claim experiences which we don’t otherwise have language for, and have to help us find a moral compass in doing so
SLIDE 35
joy, mercy, forgiveness
SLIDE 36
sin, sorrow, repentance
SLIDE 37
hope
SLIDE 38
how will we “story” ourselves and the church? how will we invite people into epic meaning-making adventures?
SLIDE 39
SLIDE 40
SLIDE 41
SLIDE 42
we also need stories that transform our perspectives, that reframe our taken-for-granted views, that help us to “re-contextualize” in the face
