story4all

Today's show:
End of an era May 2006 until August 2018 story4all is transitioning
Bryan announces his closing of story4all as it is currently known. This has been a difficult decision, but due to the role change for his family, Bryan records his last show today, as he has discovered it will not be possible to maintain a show of quality in his future mobile and global role with Simply the Story and which involves his being without a permanent home and office.

Our initial 2006 goal of informing, mobilising and resourcing the Body of Christ into using oral communication as a ministry tool, and in particular, storytelling with discussion, has been reached.

Please keep an eye on this page and on the following links for further announcement towards a transition of the podcast in the future:
