We all tell stories. Regardless of your storytelling skill level, you tell stories about your life experiences. Your story might be about a dramatic life experience from years ago or something small that happened the other day. Whatever the story, they all have one thing in common – God was active and present when the story happened. In fact, God is the hero of every story in our lives, even though we do not always recognize this truth. Joanne Ellison has seen how her stories offer a powerful way to connect with others.

God is even the hero when your story is one of difficulty and heartbreak. In these difficult stories, you may have seen small examples of His mercy or clung to Him as your only source of hope. As you aim to point people to Jesus, share openly about how you have seen God work in your stories. Use stories of both joy and sorrow, big and small. And as you share your stories, feel free to be honest with any struggles with God you may have had in the moment. Even if someone does not follow God, they will respect you, your story and your openness.
And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Long ago, your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods. Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac. And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in the midst of it, and afterward I brought you out. “‘Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. And the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness a long time. Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and invited Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, but I would not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I delivered you out of his hand. And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the leaders of Jericho fought against you, and also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And I gave them into your hand. And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’
