The power of saying
This is My STory
Start
The Bible isn’t just a collection of teachings—it’s full of real people, wrestling with real struggles, and telling their real stories. And those stories have shaped generations.
These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31

Why share stories?
You don’t have to be a biblical hero to have a story worth telling. Every day, God is shaping something in your life—through joy, struggle, and everything in between. When we tell our stories, we remind each other that we are growing together. When we don’t share what we’ve been through, we miss opportunities to connect. We also risk forgetting how God has been present in our lives.
After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.Judges 2:10

- How did it feel to tell your story?
- What did you learn from hearing someone else’s?
