CoJourners: Power of Metaphor

Aristotle wrote:

"The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor."

That may be an overstatement (or miscalculation of greatness). Certainly we can come up with something greater.

But it hints at why CoJourners has been so well received. It utilizes five metaphors in evangelism:

• Journey: As the overarching metaphor for life, witness is joining others in their spiritual journey.
  
• Explorer: Discovering where people are at in their journey.
• Guide: Showing the way to Jesus.
• Builder: Constructing pathways over or around the obstacles keeping others from Christ.
• Mentor: Encouraging others on in their journey with Christ.
  

Master these five metaphors and you will be a "great" witness! Wonder what Aristotle would think of that?
