and it matters.
When we pause to remember what God has done—and share it with others—we strengthen our faith and show others He’s still at work.
Life can feel isolating–especially when walking through trauma, addiction, or questions.
Throughout Scripture, God’s people were told to remember. To hold on to His faithfulness and tell their stories so future generations would know who He is.
Because we’re quick to forget.
And when life gets hard and when the grief is heavy, it’s easy to wonder if God is still moving.
At The 61 Exchange, we create space to remember and share. We tell the stories of how God met us and how He healed us. Because your story—whatever it looks like —has the power to encourage someone else to keep believing.
Introducing 61Exchange
The 61 Exchange was born from the promise in Isaiah 61—that God brings beauty from ashes, joy from mourning, and hope from what once felt broken.
We’re a growing community of believers committed to recalling and recounting the ways Jesus has brought healing in our lives. Whether it’s a story of rescue, redemption, or quiet faith in the middle of the mess, we believe every testimony has the power to encourage someone else.
Through storytelling, events, and real connection, we create spaces where no one has to walk alone—and where the faithfulness of God is made known again and again.
Think You Don’t Have a Story?
Maybe your story doesn’t come with a dramatic turning point.
No rock bottom. No big before-and-after moment. Or maybe, the shame feels to heavy to share the truth.
This is what we know:
If you follow Jesus, your life already tells a story.
God’s been at work — in the quiet, in the ordinary, in the faithful steps no one else sees.
You don’t need a dramatic rescue for your life to reflect His goodness. You just need a moment to see it.
We’ve created tools to help you uncover your story and put it into words so you can testify to all that God has done for you.
