ABOUT MICHAEL
After ten years in youth ministry, Michael Novelli felt like he had tried everything to help his students connect with the Bible. Then, a missionary introduced him to a unique, ancient way to engage people with the Bible through story. Michael learned the art of “Storying,” a sequential telling of Bible stories followed by a time of creative retelling and in-depth dialogue. He used this process to completely transform his youth group as they found themselves experiencing God in a whole new way. For several years Michael has been developing narratives and training to help others discover the art of “Storying,” a dialogical approach to Bible learning.
Michael is continually seeking the most effective ways to help people learn. This passion led him to explore experiential teaching methods for 13 years as a church youth pastor. Now Michael serves as a senior curriculum developer for sparkhouse, creating learning-centered resources and events for children, youth and adults. Michael, his wife Michele, and children Angelo and Abrielle live in Elgin, Illinois.
