Weaving Together Authentic Story and Communication Strategies That Invite and Engage

Deacon Mitzie Schafer

In a moment when social media and ads are increasingly shaped by urgency, AI, automation and noise, professional marketing firms predict that people will increasingly expect something more human, more honest and more relational in 2026 and beyond. There is growing distrust of deep cuts and fake products. This session introduces the Donorarc Storytelling model and invites participants to examine how communication can weave together the church and wider community through shared story and authentic messaging that builds trust, deepens engagement and supports generous living.
