i want to come, Ben! but you never answered my previous comment of long ago...what's it all about, EXACTLY? is it something i would benefit from, despite the fact that i dont have an official leadership role in the church? the IDEA of it intrigues me and excites my spirit, but a few more details would be nice :)

Sarah, Story is for those who have a heart for communicating the Gospel in the most compelling ways possible. You definitely don't have to be on-staff at a church.
This will be a unique conference experience in that we're combining great content with a theatrical experience. I don't think it's ever been done before.
Day two is more informal, and probably more practical. You'll hear from filmmakers, authors, scholars, photographers, etc, about communicating as an art.
As a highly creative, follower of Christ, you're going to love it. Plus, you get to fly to Chicago for free, right? =)
