When Crisis HitsYour response becomes your story.What many Christian nonprofits haven't prepared for is what happens when someone else starts telling your story for you.

The Greatest StoryWitnessing the gospel at work through the local church.If you truly want to understand Compassion, you have to understand the local church.

Hidden Under a BowlWhy we know our story matters — and still won't tell it.The organizations most convinced that storytelling matters are often the very ones least likely to do it. This is not a skills problem. Nobody needs another workshop on the anatomy of a good narrative. Our sector suffers from a knowing-doing gap. Until we name what holds us back, we will keep nodding along at conferences and driving home to say nothing.James Misner is founder of The Kipos Group, which helps leaders of direct-service nonprofits raise more money through strategic, story-driven fundraising. He has spent 25 years helping mission-driven organizations turn their impact into sustainable revenue. Reach him at james@thekiposgroup.com.
The Leadership Story You Should TellSharing how God formed you as a leaderEvery leader has a story. Not the polished version we think we should have because we watched other successful leaders. Not the version we post because it sounds impressive or garners favor. The real story—the one that explains why we lead the way we do.Tricia Bell has more than twenty years of experience in the corporate setting, primarily dealing with legal, compliance, and operations issues.

Structuring Successful StorytellingApplying insights from the SUCCES framework.There are as many frameworks for storytelling as there are stories to tell. We enjoy sharing “the SUCCES framework” from Chip and Dan Heath (from their phenomenal book Made to Stick, Random House, 2007), but there is not one framework that rules them all. However, a framework of some sort is non-negotiable.Brock Anderson is Vice President of Content and Shelley Komoszewski is Vice President of Strategic Engagement for Sightline, a ministry of Cru. Sightline exists to cut through cultural confusion, so people see Jesus clearly. Connect with the ministry at sightlineministry.org
