What are stories?
This isn’t our version of TIkTok. Sharing stories is a powerful way to build community and learn from one another, and sharing the story of what God is doing in our lives, whether on a grand scale or in the smallest details, takes that to a whole new level because God commands us to do it because it has real power (see Revelation 12:11). Have you had a moment recently or in the past where all you could say is, “that was God”? We want to hear about what God has done in your life!
