Humans naturally retain narratives better than abstract concepts — and can retell them accurately for generations.
Narratives engage emotions and imagination in ways that propositions can't, creating transformation rather than just information transfer.
No theological training required. New believers can immediately begin passing on what they've heard.
Stories cross literacy barriers, reaching people groups with no written language or where few can read.
One trained storyteller can spark a movement that reaches thousands.
