YOUR
STORY
MATTERS

It doesn’t have to be dramatic to be powerful. If Jesus is in it, your story is worth telling.

You’re not alone. So many of us believe the lie that our story doesn’t count unless it involves a rock-bottom moment or a neat, redemptive ending.

BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH:

If God has carried you, changed you, strengthened you, or simply sustained you—then you have something worth sharing.

You don’t need a rescue to reflect His goodness.
You just need a moment to stop, reflect, and see where He’s been.

Why Sharing Your Story Matters

Throughout Scripture, God calls His people to remember.
Not just for their own faith—but to encourage the faith of others.

When you speak your story out loud, it helps someone else believe they’re not alone.
It reminds them that God is still faithful. Still healing. Still moving.

Sharing your story doesn’t just strengthen your own faith. It can be a breakthrough for someone else.

You may not feel ready to share your story yet—and that’s okay.
We’ve created simple tools to help you get started.

Two booklets, one titled 'Find Your Faith Story' with a black cover and the other partially visible titled 'Reflect'. The black booklet includes the subtitle 'A guide to help you reflect on where God has been at work - even if you didn't realize it at the time.' The other booklet has a note encouraging reflection and prompts for spiritual growth.

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story…”

— Psalm 107:2

You don’t have to be finished healing to testify.
You just have to be willing to remember—and trust that someone else might need what you’ve seen of God.
