Your Story
Is Sacred

"Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story." Psalm 107:2

A workshop experience that helps you recognize God's hand in your story, shape it with care, and share it with confidence.

"Every life carries moments of God, waiting to be recognized, shaped, and shared."

About the Seminar

Where Faith Meets Story

Rich in Faith Storytelling Seminars teaches participants to recognize moments of God in the good and difficult seasons of life, shaping those experiences into stories worth sharing with their community and beyond.

Our Objectives

Why We Gather

01

To come closer to God and others by honestly sharing our stories, both the joys and the struggles alike.

02

To see our own stories from a new perspective, in the light of God's presence and the witness of community.

03

To glorify God and encourage others' faith through what He has done and continues to do in our lives.

The Experience

What to Expect

A carefully structured workshop that moves from learning to doing, in a safe, supported and faith-filled environment.

Teaching

  • Introduction to seminar objectives and the power of personal story
  • The "window of tolerance" and creating a safe space for sharing hard things
  • Bible passage introducing the story theme (e.g. the raising of Lazarus for disappointment and miracle)
  • Story arc and shaping techniques and how transformation becomes narrative

Activities

  • Create self-care and group environment plans for the time together
  • Identify and explore potential personal story ideas
  • Develop and practice your selected story with a partner
  • Select and create your story product in whatever format fits you
Story Shaping

The Shape of Every Story

Story is not what happens to us. It is how we change because of it.

I

The Normal

Every story begins in a place of familiar, ordinary life.

II

The Push

Something disrupts the normal, an inciting moment that calls for a response.

III

The Stakes

Details that draw others in and show why this moment truly mattered.

IV

The Change

The moment of transformation where God meets us in the disruption.
