"Making the Invisible Story Visible"
I’m an historian with a foot either side of the Great Dividing Range. I was born into a family of storytellers in Sydney, studied history under an atheist professor who hammered my Christian worldview into shape and had it further tested in the classroom by ranks of senior high school boys game for an argument.
Three decades in outback Bourke completed my apprenticeship. Interviewing authentic pioneers for local radio, leading young adults in an intensive study of biblical history on a farm kibbutz and exploring the stories of an enormous Western region as a tourism development manager, convinced me of the need to know where we had come from. And as I put these narratives to work in school rooms, pubs, conference halls, tour buses, churches and magazines, I discovered the power of stories not only to intrigue and motivate people but most importantly, to touch their souls.
I became convinced that a great store of faith stories lay hidden waiting to be told all across Australia. I knew that it was urgent to return these stories to the national conversation about the future. I made it my business to inspire and train an army who would develop a burn to recover and relay this powerful heritage creatively to new generations oblivious of its value. There was every reason they should aim to be the best storytellers in Australia.
