One of the great lessons of the Bible is that our stories matter. The Bible is full of people's stories...and their stories of experiencing God. What amazes me is that God uses our stories to effect the lives of others. This is the way faith is passed on to one generation and the next...by retelling how we've experienced God in the real day to day of our lives.

How has someone else's story encouraged you in a hard time?

How has your story helped someone else?

Is there a time a Biblical story has helped you in a time of challenge?
