"What happens when a pastor bets on a story—and a storyteller—he’s never seen? That simple 'yes' shaped a rich conversation about risk, trust, and how creative ministry can reignite a love for Scripture."

We trace Pastor Don Schwing’s journey from ritual to relationship, the power of storytelling to wake up a church, and the surprising ways God guides a congregation’s future. Humor, honesty, and a 7‑Eleven-sized miracle reveal how surrender fuels real ministry.

• why embodied storytelling makes Scripture feel urgent again
• how a single sentence shattered self‑justification
• moving from willpower to surrender and abiding
• using humor to reset attention without losing reverence
• resisting broad‑brush labels to see people first
• leadership under pressure and the habit of peace
• Graceway’s staffing model and shared mission
• the vision for an outreach center next door
• practical providence in property, timing, and price
